Hundreds of children and their families flocked to Bayshore Mall Friday for their fifth annual Great Pumpkin Event.

Children under 12 years old were able to pick out a free pumpkin and many stores participated in the trick-or-treat activities. There was also free coffee and cider from Caribou Coffee as well as free horse-drawn carriage rides through the Town Center. Although there were many unique costumes, the most popular was Spider Man, Star Wars characters and princesses.
