Highlands Elementary School fourth grader Ryan Hasson pounds the pavement as a T-Rex on Monday during the annual Halloween parade in Tarentum.

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

Preschoolers were on parade Monday morning during a Halloween trick-or-treat outing in Allegheny Township.

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.
