Two blocks of Main Street in Licking on Saturday evening were filled with superheroes and monsters, dragons and dinosaurs, princesses and politicians, Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore. Col. Sanders, hoboes, clowns, ladybugs, bunnies, pirates and more roamed in search of candy and fun.

Covid didn’t seem to put a damper on the festivities. This year’s nice weather invited many to attend who may have sat out the past two years due to rain and cold. The winners of this year’s costume contest won buckets of goodies and a claim to fame.
