FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (Nov. 1, 2012) -- The ghouls, goblins and all things that go bump in the night came out early on Fort Meade this year, alongside storybook characters and superheroes.
In the days leading up to All Hallow's Eve, the installation celebrated the spookiest day of the year with several events for children and adults alike.
Early Saturday morning, runners donned costumes as they ran in the Ghost, Ghoul and Goblin 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk at the Pavilion. While costumes weren't required, several participants showed up dressed as superheroes, monsters and Gumby. Several dogs dressed for the run as well.
Saturday afternoon, the USO-Metro sponsored a Harvest Festival at McGill Training Center. The family event included a pumpkin patch, moon bounce, crafts, games, bike giveaways and a costume contest featuring princesses, Rapunzel, Buzz Lightyear and a sultry Cleopatra.
Participants also enjoyed cotton candy and the magic of "The Amazing Stanley."
