ORLANDO, Fla. -- Juan Martinez picked out a devil mask as he got ready for his first fully normal Halloween since a real-life horror show — the coronavirus pandemic — hit more than two years ago.
“My kids love going out from house to house to look for candy,” Martinez said. “The first year [of the pandemic], nobody celebrated, nobody went out and then after that it was just a little bit, not that many people, but now, I think we’re back to normal.”
Martinez, 44, of Crestview, bought his mask at the Goodwill store on Orange Blossom Trail near Florida Mall. He plans to wear it while handing out candy. He also had some pumpkin decorations in his shopping cart for his family’s home.
