Runners and walkers, some in costume, participated in the Wyoming Valley Habitat for Humanity Halloween 5K on Saturday from the Friedman Jewish Community Center—raising funds to help local families find affordable homes.

Residents in Scranton visited Lace Village’s second Fall Food and Wine Festival on Saturday at a former manufacturing plant where local vendors offered food, wine and drinks.
