Arlington Park and Aquatic Complex didn't let a little rain get in the way of its Haunted Trail Carnival on Oct. 25. 

Tiny bumblebees, Disney characters, superheroes and princesses ran from booth to booth to trick-or-treat around the trail. Children also participated in carnival games, face painting and a costume contest.

The event was put on by the city of Sarasota Parks and Recreation District. About 25 businesses and organizations participated in passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Volunteers from the Boys and Girls Club and Sarasota High Key Club helped with games and activities.
