Thousands of costumed kids, along with moms, dads, and grandparents strolled Main Street last Thursday night seeking treats from the 80-plus participating merchants. A big “thank you” goes out to all the local merchants and city officials for providing safe, fun activities for our kids. We also thank the city for closing Main Street so that everyone could move about safely.
