Alton Mill was a busy place again Sunday with a family festival to celebrate this scary time of year. There were all sorts of fun a creative activities going on at Frightapalooza. Brooke Freingruber, 13, and Paige Angot, 11, of Alton were busy decorating pumpkins.

What would an event like Frightapalooza be without face painting? Volunteer Richanith Heng was working on a scary design for Karina Kirsten, 8, of Bolton.

Carola Little of Shelburne was manning this butcher shop.

Clare Magee combined music and story telling to entertain young and old.
