The Fourth of July may be over, but a local children's store is giving us something else to celebrate this month.

Red Balloon Co. just turned 15 and instead of throwing a typical party, the store is giving its loyal little customers a reason to break out that the Halloween costume that was just slightly too big last October. They're having a Halloween-themed celebration this Saturday from noon to 4 pm at both locations. Whether you bring your kids by the Andersonville store or the Bucktown shop, there will be candy served.
