The semi-spooky, always perky Lafayette tradition is back this coming Sunday, Oct. 26. Look for cute costumes, balloons, families, music, dogs, pancakes and lots of volunteers downtown. Events start with the 2-mile Fun Run at 8 a.m., 5K at 8:30 a.m., 10K at 8:45 a.m. and the first ever family bicycle ride to the Veterans Memorial building will go at 9:30 a.m. Police will be directing traffic along the route starting near Plaza Park on Mt. Diablo Boulevard, and for the longer races up and around the Lafayette Reservoir. Visit the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce website for all the details, www.LafayetteChamber.org. Last minute entry on race day can be done at Citibank, 3528 Mt. Diablo Blvd. There will be plenty of free parking at BART. -C. Tyson
