Countless crowds filled many area downtowns and parking lots yesterday for trick-or-treating, and Cherryvale was no exception.

 

Cherryvale Police Chief Jimmy Holt says the event has grown every year, and he says this year's turnout was expected to top 2,000 attendees.

 

Holt says he likes these type of events because they allows kids to trick-or-treat in a safe, family friendly environment. Many area businesses and organizations were on hand, some setting up elaborate trunks and displays. The Cherryvale Public Library also set up tables in front of the building full of free books for children and adults. Several prizes for best and scariest trunk were also awarded. Here are the results:

 

People's choice: Randi Golden with Jurassic Bark

Scariest: People State Bank

Best Themed: Daniel and Francesca Coats with Charlie Brown and the Pumpkin Patch!

Jigsaw key scavenger hunt winner: Cody Carpenter
