BUTLER TWP — The ghouls came out early for Halloween this year, and their shadows cast long around the perimeter of Preston Park Friday evening.

The Butler County Chamber of Commerce collaborated with Butler Township to host the first-ever trick or treat community night, which even attracted many people from outside the township because it was another opportunity for them to dress up.

“It was nice to have something else to do,” said Kristie Martin, of Summit Township, whose children, Camryn and Sean, dressed up as a snow globe and a flying saucer, respectively. “It was another chance for them to wear their costumes.”
