Halloween Runs in the Family at State Fair

Belleville’s State Fair bills itself as the largest Halloween store in the world. But that doesn’t keep it from being a family operation.

Owned by Al Dorso for over 20 years, the store is now managed by Dorso’s son Mike. The rest of the management are close relations as well, including Dorso’s sister Michele Tartaglione, who spoke with Patch about the store’s inventory and history.
