Halloween always brings out the spirit in people. Whether you’re a little kid dreaming of all the candy you’re hoping to acquire trick-or-treating or an adult working behind a cash register, getting dressed up and having fun is all part of this annual festival.
Revelstokians are no slouches at this. As you can expect there are parties on all around town tonight and some of the people who will doubtless be going to them got all dressed up for the day. Here are photos from a few of the shops, bars, cafes and other venues around town:
