Ghouls and goblins and witches and warlocks converged Oct. 30, on the eve of Halloween in Lakewood Ranch.

Most importantly, attendees dressed in their Halloween garb as they wandered around the fields during the three-hour event, which has become so large it outgrew its previous venue, Lakewood Ranch Main Street.
