The Crookston Early Childhood Initiative hosted its annual Boo Run Run on Oct. 10 at Castle Park in Crookston, as dozens of children explored the storybook walk throughout the wooded trails and enjoyed free play at the natural playground.
Each child received a book, pumpkin, and snack. In all, more than 150 people attended the Monday evening event, thoroughly enjoying the perfect fall weather.
