Doors of New Canaan: Halloween 2011

With two weeks to go, doors and lawns are displaying the Halloween Spirit.

It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween all over New Canaan.

To many, it may seem that over the years, Halloween has gone from a day to a season.

Groceries, candy and variety stores begin their displays just after Labor Day. After-school activities begin holding Halloween parties on Oct. 1 followed by parades at school and endless opportunities throughout the month for kids, and adults to eat candy corn and orange cupcakes and don costumes.

From doorway decorations to elaborate lawn displays, a drive around town now leaves little doubt about the holiday that's just around the corner.
