South Orange celebrated October 31 with its Halloween Festival. Merchants handed out candy, costumed kids (and grownups) paraded on South Orange Avenue. Wanda the Giant Witch once again presided over the annual Costume Contest.
Grand prizes were awarded in several different categories. The festivities were sponsored by Sparkhouse, Y Gallery Salon, D&I Fitness and Music for Aardvarks.
South Orange Village Center Alliance (SOVCA) Chair Matt Glass told the crowd it was the biggest turnout yet, with the most original and creative costumes.
