HALLOWFEST — Families showed up in style to HallowFest in Eagle River on Saturday for an afternoon of Halloween fun and community camaraderie. The event featured a treasure hunt trick-or-treat at businesses on Wall and Railroad streets, a costume contest, dance performance, and free movies at the Vilas Cinema. Here, dressed as a circus troupe complete with a ringmaster, clown, strongman and bearded lady, a family shows off their creative group costume. —Staff Photos By CHRISTINA BRANDMEIER

Crowds gathered as Eagle River Lions Club members and event organizer Kathy Holperin picked the winners of the children’s costume contest. With so many creative looks this year, judging wasn’t easy.
