Monsters and princesses, superheroes and a Ron Burgundy haunted Old Towne Orange Thursday afternoon.
Hordes of children and their families got in some early (and rain free) trick-or-treating during the always popular Treats in the Streets event.
The plaza around the city’s traffic circle was closed to traffic to create a safe place for children to show off their costumes and collect candy from participating businesses and community groups. There were also Halloween-themed activities and other fun.
Hosting of the long-time community event was taken over in recent years by Orange Plaza Traditions, which also puts on the Orange International Street Fair each Labor Day holiday weekend and is now also organizing the annual community Christmas tree lighting.
