Sheriff Keith Everhart hands out candy to Chuck and Jessica Kaman's  sons, Colton and Kylar, in Alger on Thursday.

Some years, Halloween in various communities occurs on different days, but this year all area towns decided Halloween would be on the same day, so the sheriff's office was busy all over the county.

Sheriff Everhart had eight deputies plus Volunteers in Public Service handing out candy in every community that evening.

The Alger Community Center opened its doors for Halloween.
