The Blaum Brothers Ghost Busters float makes its way down Main Street for the annual Galena Halloween Parade. Throngs of people lined Main Street to take in the annual event which features floats, families, businesses, politicians and numerous high school marching bands. Smoke and light from hot air balloons also lit up Main Street, giving it a magical glow. Barb Hocker, Galena Area Chamber of Commerce executive director, said there were 58 parade entries this year. She said warm temperatures helped draw a crowd of more than 25,000 people, a crowd which is believed to be larger than last year.
