EDWARDSVILLE - There was literally almost any Halloween costume in the book on display when the Edwardsville Parks and Recreation Department hosted the annual children’s costume contest this past Saturday at City Park Bandstand.
The costume event was immediately followed by trick-or-treating on Main Street in Edwardsville.
"There were 200 entries with participants dressed in almost every costume imaginable," Hayley M. Verheyen, CPRP, said.
"The Parks Department would like to thank all who partnered with the City of Edwardsville to make this event a huge success including the Edwardsville Lions Club for judging, GCS Credit Union for donating prizes, the SIUE Suzuki Strings for playing music during registration, Market Basket for supplying pumpkins and hay bales for stage decorations, the Edwardsville Police Department for providing crossing guards on the Main Street intersections, and the 35 participating Main Street businesses for handing out candy after the contest. We look forward to partnering with you all again next year!"
