More than a dozen San Diego city recreation centers will offer up some Halloween fun for children this year with free candy distributions.

Kids are encouraged to don their costume and get into the Halloween spirit Friday and Saturday to receive some sweet treats, as well as the possibility of a “scary surprise or two,” the city said. (After all, what’s a treat without a trick?)
