About the Author | Julie DeLeo

Before retiring, Julie taught many children in grades 1-4 for over thirty years in Hyde Park, New York. Halloween always was a special time filled with fun and excitement in her classrooms. Julie resides in the beautiful Hudson Valley of NY with her husband John and raised her two children, Chris and Danielle. Over the years, Julie has had many opportunities to enjoy the pumpkin patch at Wallkill View Farm. She also has many fond memories of the annual Halloween parade in New Paltz, NY.

A couple of her favorite memories are watching her son Chris when he was 4, dressed up as Superman, waving to the crowd of onlookers and her 12 year old daughter, Danielle, dressed as Dorothy when her soccer team paraded as the cast from The Wizard of Oz.
