Bitterly cold temperatures didn’t stop area youth from celebrating Halloween on Tuesday. At Iola Elementary School, students paraded to the delight of a large crowd of parents, grandparents and others. The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce brought more than three dozen decorated vehicles and stations for the annual Trunk or Treat event on the downtown square.
