Downtown Bainbridge became the center of ghosts and goblins Saturday afternoon, as hundreds came to enjoy the annual Pumpkins in the Park.
There were young zombies, two monkeys in a barrel, Michael Jackson look-a-likes and countless others dressed in original Halloween costumes—some that were just cute for a simple treat.
