A cold and blustery Saturday started with a parade of dozens of children dressed up for Halloween in anticipation of the annual Trunk or Treat event downtown.
In spite of a low, gray sky, and icy bits of snow swirling through the air, the Glendo Fall Fun event boasted a great turnout for the Smoked Meat Cookoff, Farmer’s Market, Craft Fair, and Trunk or Treat with outdoor games for kids hosted at the Glendo School.

This was the last rodeo of the fall season for Wyoming, events will resume in the spring of 2024.
