There were approximately 675 kids who flooded the Main Street with their parents, family, and friends to Trick-or-Treat in a safe environment and collect candy from businesses, fraternities, sororities, and clubs/organizations. The event was an overall success, but even with all the candy our club had we ran out before the end of the event  !
