Pumpkin painting was just one of many fun activities at last weekend's annual Rooster Rush, held indoors for the first time at the De Smet Event & Wellness Center. Many families attended this free event and were able to visit with the vendors at their booths, play with some adorable puppies, try meals from two different food trucks and even sample some delicious pies.

Many children, dressed in their Halloween costumes, walked, biked or rode with parents and grandparents around town to play the carnival games. The weather was beautiful.
