Happy Halloween Parade Pottstown

The weather was perfect.

The floats were unique.

The bands were in costume.

Candy was flying, but then so were free book -- 5,000 of them to be exact.

New to this year's Pottstown Halloween Parade was a truck loaded down with free books being given out by the Pottstown Federation of Teachers.

If you were hoping to get one, you'll get another chance tomorrow at the Pottstown High School Homecoming game, were books will be handed out by the teachers for both children and adults.

In the meantime, here is a little video from the parade:
