The Princeton Parks & Recreation group held its second annual Halloween Costume Swap at the Princeton Public Library. This year, pumpkins were purchased in order to offer an opportunity for the kids to paint one and bring it home. The kids were really creative in their painting of their pumpkins. There was a wide variety of costumes to choose from, as well.
