SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — The streets of downtown Spirit Lake, Iowa lived up to the town’s name today as ghosts, ghouls and clowns invaded the area.
The Spirit Lake chamber of commerce held their annual “Candy Walk” today. Kids of all ages dressed up in their favorite costumes as businesses handed out candy to the “trick-or-treaters”
“It’s cool to see families of all ages come down and there’s something for babies to grown-ups. It’s cool to see everyone come out to one location and have something to do for everybody,” said Kristi Smith, the Executive Director of the Spirit Lake Chamber of Commerce.
And the owner of Lagniappe Tea Room says it’s her first time as a business.
“It’s my first year of doing it as a business owner and I just love it,” said Cathie Critchett. “It’s great to see all the families out and the kids and their cute costumes and to see the community spirit.”
The event started at the “Great Lakes Mall” from 10:00-2:00 P.M., then moved to Downtown Spirit Lake from 2:00-4:00 P.M. this afternoon.
