Ghouls, ghosts and plenty of popular, trademarked entities marched through the Village of Lake Orion on Oct. 22, as all ages gathered at the Angel Center and made their way to Children’s Park. As the mob moved, it picked up costumed spectators, and soon Broadway was filled with horrors big, small, cute and scary. Store owners generously handed out candy, music played from the gazebo, and special events took place in the park. It may be a time of screams and frights, but this Halloween event carried plenty of smiles.

Sage Brocco did her impersonation of a jellyfish. Very cool.
