Halloween Bear Alert!

Normally, a story about a bear skulking around Westport — even a very big one — would wait until the next day’s “06880” Roundup.

But tonight is Halloween.

Kids are out trick or treating. There’s tons of candy on doorsteps, and probably discarded on lawns and roadsides.

This alert can’t wait.

This bear was spotted on Sturges Highway, near Fairfield.

It’s always important to be careful on Halloween.

Tonight, take extra care!

    That’s some serious Halloween costume.

  4. Do you think the bear was FOTI dressed in a Halloween costume? Hey, my son-in-law was dressed as a giraffe tonight, so maybe this bear wasn’t a bear?

    Not only bears but the dang coyotes are howling half the night. Wild West Westport.
