Halloween is fast approaching, and as pint-sized ghosts and goblins pick out costumes that no doubt will range from kooky to spooky, it’s important for the adults in their lives to know when and where the trick-or-treating will be taking place.
Citywide hours for trick-or-treating will be observed from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., according to Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow.
But before that, families can come downtown between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to participate in the trick-or-treat event hosted by downtown merchants, said Henderson Downtown Development Manager Tracy Madigan.
This means that Garnett Street will be closed to vehicle traffic beginning at 3 p.m., Madigan said.
She also encourages businesses and organization to join in the fun – it’s free to participate; all you need to do is purchase candy and then be ready to hand it out when youngsters come by.
Kick it up a notch and decorate your storefront to provide some extra “spirit,” she said.
If you would like to participate in giving out candy but do not have a place in downtown to do so, please contact Alice Sallins at 252.767.4579 or Madigan at 252.425.0844 and they can help you find a spot to set up.
