TOMS RIVER: Despite the rain and floods- the Annual Toms River Halloween Parade went off Saturday night as scheduled! The parade is a long-standing tradition here in Ocean County, and recently was only cancelled for Hurricane Sandy & Covid. This year it was time to get back into it- with a solid showing of attendees. While the parade is a huge success and draw for the downtown area, the tradition of “moving” trick or treat is getting kind of annoying and confusing for locals- unless it falls on a Sunday.

Anyway, the highlight again of the show- and 1st Prize Winner was Junior Miss Liberty, or Little Miss Mini Sondra Fortunado! This young lady, whose real name is Mila- was the star of the show again! Mila entered in 2019 as a mini-Sondra, and was a runaway success. Thankfully she entered again and stole the parade! Even the real Sondra was enamored at the sight of her protege learning the lifestyle of fame and popularity. Thanks for making us all laugh Mila- and congratulations!
