More than 302 children attended a Halloween event on Wednesday night, Oct. 31, at the Eisenhower Recreation Center, 2901 N. 72nd St., Kansas City, Kansas.

Adults had as much fun as the youth in wearing costumes at the Halloween event.

The safe Halloween event included hot dogs served by the Leavenworth Road Association, cotton candy by the Multiply Church, with 12 businesses and organizations handing out treats from tables. The event was sponsored by LRA, Multiply Church and the Unified Government Parks and Recreation.

Lou Braswell is the executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association.
