Perfect Halloween weather brought out many trick or treaters in Ada for two hours on Thursday evening.

Lots of treats were handed out; there were too many smiling faces for any tricksters. Main Street was the "in" place to be with hotdogs, juice, cookies, popcorn and lots of wrapped candy for ghosts and goblins of all sizes and ages.

Vancrest was another popular stop where kids could load up on handful of candy from the many residents who sat in a semicircle to greet the children and fill their bags.
