Earlier in the week we talked about 5 great things you can do around town (in one case across county lines) for the Halloween week. Well, we should have made it 9 since these four events are pretty awesome.
First off you have The National Corvette Museum’s Monster Mash! Saturday, from 1 to 3pm we are offering a free event with loads of activities. There will be a Trunk-or-Treat a display of collector cars, like a Shelby Cobra and Lamborghini! You can also enjoy free arts and crafts activities (make a mask, ghost pop and spider basket), decorate cookies at the IGA cookie station. Also, Carnival games (25 cents a ticket) with prizes as well as a Face, hair and nail painting for $1.00 each. Kids’ Costume Contest will take place at 2pm with prizes. They will award prizes for ages 0-2 years, 3-5 years, 6-8 years, 9-12 years and “Best of Show”. Pumpkin painting for $3.00, DJ Tim Livingston will also be spinning your favorite Halloween tunes.
Then of course the 5th annual Mattress Chuck at Trent Bedding:

Lastly, on Halloween Night, Fountain Square will have their “Scare on The Square event. Starting at 4:30pm the kids can come to Fountain Square and trick-or-treat to all the local businesses in a safe and friendly environment. Also, live music by Culture of Creatures in front of “The Capitol.” At 5:30 there will also be an auction of the Squirrels so many people searched for during “Squirrels on The Square.” Hope to see you out this weekend!
