The Erie County Courthouse looked a little different today.
Dozens of local kids made their way through the building for the county’s annual Trick-or-Treat Trail.
The first floor of the courthouse turned into a Halloween trail for some of Erie’s youngest trick-or-treaters.
Children from local day-care programs, such as Early Connections, stopped by different county departments, showing off their costumes and, of course, filling up their candy bags.
County staff got in on the fun too, decorating their stations, handing out treats and visiting with the kids as they made their way through.
“We have been doing this for a couple of years now, and it’s grown every year,” said Kyle Shoulders, director of Human Resources for Erie County. “We have a group that we reach out to regularly, but we were happy to have them back and, you know, it’s fun for the kids and fun for the employees too.”
