Costumes will be judged by a panel of Kent Station merchant managers and owners. Winning costumes will be judged on originality, details and accessories that coordinate the ensemble and overall appearance.

In Des Moines, children 12 and younger can play challenge games and take part in activities at a Halloween Carnival from 5-8 p.m. at the Landmark on the Sound Event Center, 23660 Marine View Dr. S.

The cost is $5 per child and non-perishable food items will be accepted for the Des Moines Food Bank. Revenues fund the charitable activities of Masonic Outreach Services.

A kids carnival will take center stage along with ample activities including a cookie walk, coloring contest, haunted hall, face painting and more.

In 2011, more than 1,000 guests attended and $900 was donated to Masonic Outreach Services along with food for the Des Moines Food Bank.
