In spite of a few flurries and a chill in the air, Halloween 2023 in Hinsdale once again could have been the perfect backdrop for a Hallmark movie or a painting by Norman Rockwell. Children and their parents filled the sidewalks after school was out Tuesday afternoon. One group, portraying crossing guards, included Lily Byers, Stella Barnes, Eleni Brinkmeyer, Elise Caleel, Grace Knuepfer, Mackenzie Meakins and Reese Hutter.
