ELDON, IOWA -- In Eldon Saturday, The American Gothic House Center  held their annual Halloween party.

Kids came dressed up in their costumes and had their pictures taken in front of the historic structure.

“We have a variety of games, crafts, activities and treats for all the kids that came out today. We love being able to have this free event for the community,” Berg said.

Several of the kids that KTVO spoke with said that they enjoyed the party because of the free candy and the many games that were offered.
