On October 28 and 29 members of the St.Charles community gathered on Main Street for the annual pumpkin glow. Shops and restaurants stayed open late, and hoped to draw in people with their pumpkin displays and Halloween decorations. “I enjoy coming to the pumpkin glow because it’s really something that all ages can enjoy,” said Andrew Bank. The glow featured many Halloween characters, a haunted hayride and spooky pumpkin displays. [Photos by Kelsey Decker and Alex Rowe]
