Participants wore Costumes, masks, helmets and decorated their bikes with lights. The first 50 children were awarded CycleBrook bicycle safety lights. The Halloween Haunted House ride was a 5 mile tour through Brookfield visiting many of the best decorated homes. Special thanks to the Village of Brookfield Police Department for assisting us in the busy street crossings.
