'Boo on the Bayou' held in Franklin

“Boo on the Bayou” drew over 1,000 locals to Parc sur la Teche Halloween Night.
Vehicles were parked from Iberia Street to past the St. Mary Parish Courthouse square as trick-or-treaters swarmed to the bayouside for the City of Franklin’s Halloween extravaganza.
All manner of organizations were there, including but not limited to the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office, Council on Aging, Franklin Fire and Police Departments, Brittany’s Project, and many, many more from Willow Street to the far end of Teche Drive.
Attendees entered from Willow Street, formed a line along the right side of Teche Drive and were rewarded with tons of traditional and non-traditional tricks and treats.
Scary masks and cartoon characters posed for photos with tikes while parents captured the moment with cellphones.
A huge visual display beneath the pavilion played music with electronic faces lip-syncing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and more.
