An Ontario community wanted to give Alexandros Hurdakis and his family an epic celebration to remember.
"I thought, 'OK, let's bring Halloween to Alexandros,'" Tzouanakis Anderson told TODAY Parents.
Tzouanakis Anderson wanted to create a haunted house in Alex's backyard, so she asked a friend to request donated decorations in a Hamilton community group on Facebook."People were messaging me asking, 'How can I help?'" she said."It was overwhelming, but I was determined to make Halloween a memory for the family."
Tzouanakis Anderson suspected that the evolving celebration — equal parts Halloween parade and block party — was about to swell in size, so she asked city officials for roadblocks to be placed on Alexandros' street.Alexandros Hurdakis, 5, of Hamilton, Ontario got the Halloween experience of his dreams.
As excitement for the party grew, face painters and cotton candy and popcorn vendors volunteered services for what Tzouanakis Anderson figured would be 200 guests.
