MOUNT OLIVE, Miss. (WDAM) - Downtown Mount Olive became a central gathering point on Halloween night for all kinds of harmless ghouls and goblins of all ages.
They walked through downtown getting candy and prizes as part of Mount Olive’s annual Scarecrow Festival.
The family-friendly event featured trick-or-treating and lots of games for children.
It also brought in visitors from around South Mississippi.
“We’re having a lot of fun here today,” said Stacy Barnes, of Magee.
She brought her three children to the festival.
“Everybody has been extremely friendly and a good, colorful bunch and everybody’s having a good time and everybody is keeping smiles up,” said Justin Kemp, of Mize.
Some local businesses and restaurants also opened for the festival.
