Aja Uranga prepares for milk to be poured on her head

by magician Howdy Do Dat at Relles Florist. Lots of young and old trick or treaters were

roaming through midtown Sacramento today. Also at Relles Florist there was face

painting, pumpkin art, plus dogs and owners preparing for a parade that ended on L Street.

Prizes were awarded at the end of the parade route.

Here are some scenes:
