Young trick-or-treaters, costumed as superheroes, ghouls, and beloved characters, traversed the city center with candy bags in hand.
Parents and grandparents participated in the festivities, with some even donning costumes themselves.The town was dotted with candy stations, and local businesses were distributing treats as children eagerly traversed Liberty Street in quest of Halloween treasures.
Nicole Ellison, whose children each selected their own costumes, stated, "They just picked their own." "Benjamin has an affinity for dinosaurs, Dallas desired to project an intimidating demeanor, and Travis is fond of turtles."
The costumes were as diverse as the treats, with inflatable suits, spooky spirits, and a few inventive headless characters that stood out in the throng. The atmosphere was vivacious as families, nostalgic for their own Halloweens, relished witnessing the next generation embrace the tradition.
