The Smelter City is set to get spooky for Halloween week


Pumpkin painting and bobbing (or is that fishing?) for apples were among the family-friendly festivities at The Arcade Lounge's Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 18. And there's more in store for the Smelter City as Halloween approaches. Leader photos: Kasey Edge-Faur
