Editor, Manteca Bulletin,

On Saturday, Oct. 27, downtown businesses opened up their doors for the safe Halloween event. Over one thousand children and many of their parents were dressed up in their costumes and ‘trick or treated’ in a safe and friendly environment at participating merchants in downtown Manteca. The children all had a wonderful time on the beautiful fall day.
