TGIF! Let's this weekend with some sweet n spooky fun downtown!
Great American Downtown is again presenting Monster Mash and Howl-O-Ween tomorrow! And be sure to vote for your favorite scarecrow while you're walking around.
From their e-newsletter (that you absolutely should subscribe to!):
"Monster Mash Takes Over Main Street This Saturday! Costumes ready? Candy secured? Because the Main Street Monster Mash and Howl-O-Ween Parade are THIS SATURDAY, October 24, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.!
Participating Downtown businesses will be handing out candy throughout the event. Just look for the yellow monster in the window to know where to stop for a treat! The full trick-or-treat map will go live tomorrow on our website and social media, so keep an eye out and start planning your route.
And while you’re making your way up and down Main Street, don’t forget to check out this year’s Downtown Scarecrows! Voting for your favorite scarecrow will be open for ONE DAY ONLY during Monster Mash, so take a good look at this year’s creations and make sure to cast your vote before the event ends at 1 p.m.
And there’s plenty more happening between candy stops! The Howl-O-Ween Puppy Parade kicks off at City Hall at 12 p.m. sharp, so bring your costumed four-legged friends or come Downtown to cheer them on.
Our friends at the Actorsingers will also be taking over Main Street for two performances at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. You definitely won't want to miss them!
Thank You to Our Participating Businesses! Monster Mash wouldn't be possible without the Downtown businesses that open their doors, stock up on candy, and help us create a fun afternoon for families throughout the community.
