Hundreds trick-or-treat on Queen Anne Ave

November 1st, 2009 · Comments

Hundreds of families and costumed kids walked up and down Queen Anne Ave N yesterday for the neighborhood’s annual trick-or-treat festival put on by the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association.

Some youngsters were even lucky enough to have transportation included as part of their costume!

Everyone was in the holiday spirit, even the neighborhood pets.

Doggie dress up

The Queen Anne Farmers Market also made a one-day comeback for the occasion, with music, vendors, food, a pie contest and costume contest just for adults, enticing many parents to dress up right along with their kids.

Royal costumes

Over at the market, ten bakers entered their pumpkin pies into a contest/fundraiser to support the neighborhood market (and only independent farmers market in the city).

Pie contest!

The contest was judged by Seattle magazine food writer and Queen Anne resident Lorna Yee, and there were no rules apart from the pie having to be pumpkin.

winning pie!!!

The winning pie ended up coming to Queen Anne on a plane, and was made with a fruit medley of pumpkin, banana, orange and lemon zest. Yum! Check back on the Queen Anne Farmers Market website for the recipe, which should be posted something this week.
