Kids and adults got a chance to explore Skeleton's Lair on Oct. 27 and get an early start on trick-or-treating. This year marks the first ever for "Pumpkinfest."

The day's events included face painting, pumpkin decorating and of course, candy.

The event in Allen County showcases a background tour of the haunted woods at Skeleton's Lair specifically for kids.

"It's a daytime family fun event where the families get to come out with their children, and paint pumpkins and take them home. There's face painting and a walk through the haunted woods to see the animatronics and to learn a little bit more about Halloween," explained Sherryl Lockett, with Pumpkinfest 2007.

If you're brave enough, Skeleton's Lair is open through October 31.
