What will Anthony Alfano be for Halloween this year? The native Melrose Park boy known for his wheelchair-accessible costumes unveils the latest look.A suburban boy, who has become well-known for his wheel-chair accessible Halloween costumes, has unveiled his latest look for this year.
From a young age, Anthony Alfano has been a Halloween legend. The 14-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, has gained quite the following. "It's just become bigger than us," his mother, Deanna Alfano, said. "The calls start coming in September from family, from friends, Facebook. 'What's the costume, what's the costume?'"This year however, the setting is different. Anthony and his family recently moved from Melrose Park to Tennessee."I was in the mix of the move, starting a new job, putting the house together, and trying to think of a costume," his father, Tony Alfano, said.
Anthony finally got to put on the costume, dressing up as the late Chicago broadcasting legend Harry Caray with an entire broadcasting booth implemented into his wheelchair. "We got on eBay, and we found the old school Cubs jacket," Deanna said. "We went on eBay and got the little TV monitor.""The second he saw Tony in the garage building it up, he knew what was coming," Deanna said. "So then once we put him in the costume, it's like 'Oh, here we go again.'"
