There was neither rain nor wind at Craig Park last night with the Northside Fire Department hosted their annual "Haunted Forest" Hallowe'en Party. Candy was available at each spooky trick-or-treat station in the woods, the bonfire was toasty warm, the hot dogs were free, and Northside's new firetruck was on display. Kids of all ages were invited to handle a hose and spray water.
