The Durango Farmers Market encouraged vendors to decorate booths and hand out treats at its fourth annual trick-or-treat event Saturday, Oct. 31. 

Organizers said the season was a success, though drought and flooding made it a hard year for farmers. The market held six Second Saturday events on Main Avenue, and early data shows vendors nearly doubled their sales there.
