Despite temperatures dipping in the low 30s, goblins, witches and ghouls along with a few princesses and super heros trekked down the streets in towns across Mineral County to grab gobs of candy.
Here are just a few of those who made their way around neighborhoods announcing, “Trick or Treat!”
Although bags full of candy suggested that lots of treats were passed out, the way the weather turned bad later in the week, it’s possible that we had a trick played on us as well.

Bears seeking food sources ahead of hibernation
Montana is bear country. Black bears and grizzly bears are very active right now as denning season approaches. Bears are actively seeking food sources before winter, and residents are advised to clean up or secure food attractants, such as garbage, dog food, and livestock. Bears are particularly seeking out natural fruits, such as berries, and domestic fruits, such as apples and pears. Residents are advised to pick up any fallen fruit from their property to help prevent attracting a bear.
