Trick-or-Treat!
Ryan Blackcloud and his daughter Zaira both dressed as Bluey for Marshalltotwn’s Trick or Treat Night. Joining in on the fun was Zayli as Bingo.
Scores of trick or treat parents wait in front of a house while their children get treats placed in bags. The night saw numerous groups of people of varying sizes gathering for the annual event and walking the streets together.
Lisa Nauman and Shawn Gardner, dressed as zombies, spook trick or treaters brave enough to go through the Halloween walk created by Tabatha Jordan on West Main Street. The theme this year was a zombie quarantine.
Thomas Benton Snyder gives children some candy during the two-hour trick or treat night. He and his wife, Aimee Deimerly-Snyder, also made a point to give the parents some caramels.
Mike Jahn, dressed as the minion Stuart, dances in front of his Main Street house to entertain the crowd as trick or treaters grab some candy.
Some trick or treaters, before going to Main Street, hit some houses on the north side. Some children said they wanted to make an effort to trick or treat in less popular neighborhoods this year.
Saturday marked the annual citywide Trick or Treat Night in Marshalltown. Strolling, and in a lot of cases running, along the sidewalks were youth dressed as Ghostface from “Scream,” killer clowns, pirates, Sonic the Hedgehog, Bluey and more.
Once again, Main Street proved to be a popular destination for the candy seekers, and households easily handed out 500-plus pieces of candy before the two-hour event was finished.
