Didn’t have an assignment Saturday, so I went downtown where most Casper businesses opened their doors to trick-or-treaters for the afternoon. When I was back in Columbia, I covered an event similar to this, but there were a ton more kids here and the costumes were some of the best I’ve seen. For real.
