Today is Halloween, a day for wearing colorful costumes and going trick-or-treating for candy. Kids of all ages wore their costumes to school, and a carnival was held. Popular costumes included witches, princesses, comic book heroes, and monsters. There were even three sisters dressed as ketchup, mustard, and a bag of Cheetos! (bottom photo)

Caramel apples are a favorite Halloween treat. Making them is easy: simply push a stick through the core of a fresh apple, then dip the fruit in melted caramel. Set on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper until the caramel gets hard. The kids in the bottom photo (some of whom helped make the caramel apples) are jumping on a trampoline that has been covered with leaves.

Members of a local dance group and their parents and other family members are staging a four-night "haunted house" fundraiser this week. Last night was the first night of the event. Organizers decorated the dance studio with scary props and secenery, and dressed up as frightening characters. People aged 10 and up paid $5 each to take a 20-minute tour through the building. Scary sights included Freddy Krueger from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" horror movies (top), a chainsaw-wielding madman (middle), and an indoor corn maze (bottom).
