1976 Halloween - The 1976 Grandview Halloween Street Festival began on Saturday, October 30. Grandview Avenue, from First to Third Avenues, was closed with goblin Lynn Veach, Grandview Parks and Recreation Department Director (pictured here) and Nancy Paul, Recreation Leader, roaming the street in costume. A community event, sponsored by Parks and Recreation, had organizations sponsoring street booths, a children's parade and activities, a barber shop quartet on stage, followed by a rock band. The Grandview High School Band performed and High School students participated in decorating windows and light poles on Grandview Avenue. Award ceremonies were held for best costumes and best decorated light poles and store windows. Pony rides, a Moon Walk and other activities went on throughout the evening. The festivities shut down with the band "Myth" performing until 11 PM. Midnight found the Goblins and Ghosts of another Halloween disappearing from view in Grandview Heights, Ohio.
