PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Hundreds of witches traded in broomsticks for paddles in Oregon during the last weekend.
The costumed coven paddled 6 miles on boards Saturday along the Willamette River, which divides the city of Portland.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that the paddleboard event started two years ago with a handful of participants but now attracts hundreds.
Participants donated packages of socks, underwear and T-shirts to a local nonprofit group before they started.
Spectators who were caught off guard by the witches watched from the shoreline.
