The year 2020 was unique in many ways. One of the cool ones was that a blue moon landed on Halloween. In a "normal" year, this would have triggered a big/huge/mega Halloween Hoopla event over the border in Minnesota. This is a small homage to the Hoopla that so many of us have enjoyed over the years...rain or snow or gorgeous weather!
