The annual trick-or- treat night, sponsored by Main Street, allowed county employees and those with some local organizations and businesses to get in on the fun as well. But the event was aimed at the children including Brownstown sisters Lily and Claire Redicker, who showed up as a witch and a vampire.
Lily said she decided to be a witch this year because she really liked the costume she chose, and she also was looking forward to getting all of the candy she could.
