Halloween “Trick or Treating” Held on the Square

Halloween “Trick or Treating” was held on the square in downtown Ellijay. There was plenty of activity and loads of treats handed out. It was a fun time for all participants, no matter what their ages. FYN saw plenty of princesses, witches, Mario Brothers, ninjas, super heros, all kinds of characters both funny and some very scary! Some people in Gilmer county had great ideas and used their imagination for their Halloween costumes.
