BLUE RIDGE, GA – Children and adults alike braved wet conditions and dropping temperatures to get goodies and see friends during Blue Ridge’s annual Halloween Safe Zone on Friday, Oct. 31, on East Main Street.

Despite the conditions being less than ideal, several hundred superheroes, ghouls, and other critters came out to collect candy and treats from the storeowners along the one-way portion of East Main Street in downtown Blue Ridge.

The event is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Business Association and occurs every year on Halloween.
