SLIDESHOW: Hutchinson's Halloween merriment

Hundreds of Hutchinson-area children and their parents flocked to two Halloween events Saturday afternoon. First up was the annual Lions Halloween Party at the McLeod County Fairgrounds when they enjoyed games, treats and prizes. It was followed by the Trick or Treat parade around the stores at Hutchinson Mall. Merchants handed out treats as a slow moving line of costumed youngsters wound their way around the enclosed courtyard.
