Oconee Fire Department Holds Annual Halloween Open House

Costume-clad children enjoyed trick-or-treating and exploring emergency vehicles Saturday evening.

A steady crowd of trick-or-treaters chowed down on hot dogs, slid down a bouncy slide, and played carnival games Saturday at the Oconee County Fire Department's annual Halloween Open House.

Station 1 in Watkinsville and Station 8 near the Oconee Connector each hosted a two-hour event, which also featured free cotton candy and balloon animals.
