Halloween kicked off early for many youngsters throughout the Alle-Kiski Valley.

More than 75 students from the PreK Counts program at Appleseed Learning Center lined up to show off their costumes and receive treats from various businesses in Kiski Plaza.

Costumes included witches, Buzz Lightyear, Spider-Man, an elephant, a unicorn and Disney princesses.

Appleseed is a private, state-licensed nursery school and child care center serving the Leechburg and Kiski areas.
