EPHRATA — Downtown Ephrata came alive Friday night with hundreds of trick-or-treaters crowded along Basin Street to visit merchants, businesses, and organizations handing out Halloween treats.
The Ephrata Chamber of Commerce and its participating members and volunteers made it a special evening for kids of all ages decked out in great costumes.
Here are a few looks that got caught on camera as they bustled by.
