Winnfield’s annual Fall Fest may have been reschedule due to rain, but Tuesday night’s clear skies brought a crowd downtown for an evening of costumes, candy and one last round of hometown Halloween spirit.

The evening kicked off with the costume contest at 5:30 p.m. on the front lawn of First United Methodist Church and the return of the haunted hayride, which wound through several spooky stops along Church and South Jones streets. 

Even with a week’s delay, the crowd didn’t miss a beat. Kids darted from booth to booth, their treat bags growing heavier by the minute as sugar-fueled chatter echoed down Main Street and marked yet another year of fun filled Fall Fest memories.
