These days, Halloween costumes can get pretty intense, often involving garish, furry whole-body coverage — so the Leahy BTV Spooktacular Block Party is the ideal moment for a mascot reveal, since the symbolic figure will be in very good company. The fun-filled fest features themed games, bouncy houses, dunk tanks and trunk-or-treats, culminating in a peppy parade of local icons as the Champlain Valley’s larger-than-life legends usher in the airport’s newest friendly face. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a giant suitcase with googly eyes? Be the first to find out!
