 Amador County - Hundreds of people turned out Friday for the annual Jackson Lions Club Halloween Parade. Children lined up by grade to walk with their parents, with various costumes as the clouds threatened rain but held back on the wet stuff until later that evening. The parade was led by a Jackson Fire Truck, with Jackson Police Chief Scott Morrison and a brigade of Jackson Lions helping gather the parade members and divert traffic. The parade formed in downtown Jackson, in front of the TSPN TV office, at 206 Main Street, then headed down Main toward the National Hotel. After the parade and crowd dispersed, many of the children with parents made the rounds trick-or-treating at some of the downtown businesses, then eventually went back the other way on Main Street, toward the pirate ship built by Kevin Clark, advertising representative here at TSPN. Clark said about 200 children went to the pirate ship, where he and three friends were dressed as pirates and they passed out candy. Several children in the area reported large hauls of the sweet stuff by mid-evening. Up next on the TSPN holiday watch: Veterans Day, November 11th and Thanksgiving, November 27th.
