Bluefield Hallowe'en Celebrations End Amid Rain Damage
Bluefield citys white and colored Halloween events at Bluefield stadium and Raleigh street were halted by a sudden shower and a Jupiter Pluvina prank. About 2,000 gathered at the stadium and 1,000 on the Barrow-Stowers site as Grand March preparations began.
