The weather cooperated beautifully for our favorite event of the year, the 7th Annual Kids Costume Contest in downtown Springfield. Thank you to all the families who came down to enjoy the fun, catch the Halloween spirit and see the variety and creativity of costumes of the kids and some parent and four-legged competitors who participated afterwards!
