Pumpkin carving of spooky haunted houses.
A clown riding a bike, pulling a bike cart.
A dalmation with floppy ears scooting on a scooter.
A John Deere B pulling a hay rack full of Trick-or-Treaters.

Folks taking their living room and treats into the great outdoors.
A Halloween party in Odin with a strange – yet specific – menu.
And in between – costumed Trick-Or-Treaters of all ages combing streets and avenues for Halloween favors.
It was a Happy Halloween evening across Cottonwood and Watonwan Counties.
In fact the Saturday October 31 holiday revelry even had a kickstart with Pre-Halloween Eve (Thursday, October 29) – the Butterfield Community Club Auxiliary and city businesses hosted a party for youngsters on Thursday evening.
Following is a photo gallery wishing all a Happy Halloween from across the cities and counties of Cross-Counties Connect:
