ROCHESTER — Downtown Rochester was filled with movie characters, aliens, animals and more on Friday night, Oct. 25.

The Rochester Downtown Partnership had its annual Boo Fest then, with kids able to grab treats from area businesses and organizations.

There was also face painting at one stop on the route that ran on both sides of Main Street from Ninth to Sixth streets. Kids were also able to get gourds and candy at the Rochester Optimist Club’s table, with the former grown in the club’s pumpkin patch.
