Halloween Treat Walk at the Park
Saturday October 26th
11:00-2:30pm
Carolina Pines Park
Instead of a trunk-or-treat in a parking lot we are doing a Treat Walk at the park, under and around the picnic shelter, in front of the community building. This daytime event is great for younger children to trick-or-treat in a smaller space, away from vehicles.
Bring your costumed children and let them trick-or-treat at all the tables set up for them. If you'd like to hand out goodies, bring a small table and chair and set up a trick-or-treat "station", or simply dress up and walk around interacting with the children.
Set up is 10:30-11:00am, trick-or-treating is from 11:00-2:30, and break down is 2:30-3:00.
If you don't have a table and chair to bring, there will be plenty of room to set up your "station" at a picnic table.
We want this to be fun for the children so please come help bring a little magic!
