Puppeteer Willis Bourquin, above, delights trick-or-treaters with his puppet’s antics during Monday night’s Trunk or Treat at Carbondale. Carbondale’s Main Street was lined with cars as costumed residents gathered for a community party to safely celebrate Halloween.

The combination of safety and convenience have prompted more area communities to host Halloween events in public area.

Osage City hosted, including Trick-or-Treat on Market Street on Halloween. Burlingame hosted a Trunk-or-Treat event downtown Sunday evening, with Carbondale and Overbrook hosting similar events on Monday.
