Expect to see a thousand witches and goblins at
Halloween in the Village
By Erik Vidstrand
The Southwest Portland Post
Halloween falls on a Saturday
this year so Multnomah Village
may be a bit more congested, and
scarier than usual. Approximately
1,500 – 2,000 little goblins will
descend upon local businesses
asking for treats or a trick.
Halloween in the Village will take
place from 3 – 5 p.m. on Oct. 31,
rain or shine.
Ty e S t e i n b a c h , c o - o w n e r o f
Thinker Toys, said it’s one of the
highlights of the year.
“It’s our way of giving back to
the community,” Steinbach said.
“Safety is our utmost concern and
dishing out fun, and candy, is our
goal.”
Sheriff cadets and traffic police
will be on hand to assist ghosts
and zombies at crosswalks and will
direct traffic. The route begins at
Starbucks, heads clockwise through
the village, and finishing at dentist
Lisa Jensen’s office.
One unnamed owner said that
parking is insane, half of the kids
Recreational marijuana
are from out of the area,
and pillow cases are
packed with loads of
candy.
The Herrle family
discussed their plans
while they were out
enjoying a final summer
day of sunshine. Ella
will be a mermaid, and
h e r b r o t h e r, E v a n , i s
going to be a portal god
(a reference to a popular
video game).
“ We ’ r e h e r e f o r
Multnomah Days and
Breakfast with Santa,”
said mom Christine who
is dressing as a giant pink
squid, “but somehow we
have missed Halloween.”
They’ll be making their
first try at it this year.
Riversgate Church, one
of the sponsors, will be

According to White, traffic and
parking has not been an issue on
Troy Street west of 35th Avenue.
“Both our businesses have great
parking,” White said, “and the
traffic flow is much slower here
compared to where they used to be
located (31st Avenue and Capitol
Highway)”.
Sales of edibles have been put
on hold until the OLCC advisory
committees and other regulatory
agencies can firm up the rules
about marketing, packaging, child
proofing, and labeling. The OLCC
anticipates decisions won’t be
finalized until the end of next year.
Smoking marijuana in public is
still illegal. Consumers can only
smoke in their homes or backyards.
Several other business owners in
the village, all who wanted to remain
anonymous, said they are pleased
with the new regulations and some
said that they are looking forward
to Oct. 1.
Editor’s Note: While recreational
marijuana will be initially untaxed,
a 25 percent sales tax begins in
January, ending the tax holiday. For

marijuana sales and use, visit www.
