Halloween Bench Cam???

Okay, it's been a while since we had fun with the "Bench Cam." (If you want to see how it works, click on the video on the right hand side of this page.)

Here's what I want you to do: Get your kids out of the house in their Halloween costumes and stop by for the 6 o'clock newscasts TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY. (You might want to have a cell phone so you can talk to someone at home watching so you'll know when you're on. Our main weather segment is usually around 6:10pm.) Please no offensive costumes...if there's anything questionable you won't get on and that would ruin it for everyone else.

The Bench is on the north side of State Street on the northwest corner of Water Street. Our camera is located on top of the Rockford Register Star tower. Also, post a comment if you're going and we'll know who to look for. We could have a lot of fun with this!

Here's a look at your official 13News Halloween Forecast. Don't forget to check out our local trick or treat times on the right side of the page.

I missed the six o'clock news, did anyone make it out this evening?

Jim: We sure did! We had about six, seven people IN COSTUME on the Bench Cam at six. What good sports they were! :)

It's a whole lot more rewarding when our viewers help make weather fun.

A BIG thanks for that! -ERIC
