Halloween Comes Early at 4th Annual Pumpkinfest [AUDIO & PHOTOS]

ST. CLOUD -- Witches, goblins and monsters...oh my! That was the scene around Lake George tonight as hundreds got their trick-or-treating in early at the 4th Annual Pumpkinfest.

Marci Sussenguth is a director with St. Cloud Recreation and says this is a great way for family and friends to get together in a safe and fun atmosphere.

Throughout the evening families can enjoy many outdoor activities like hayrides, a haunted house and an outdoor movie.

However, an event this size can't be done without a lot of help.

Sussenguth says the event continues to be a hit and is a great way for the community to connect.
