Nebraska – Fall is officially here and that’s the sign for people to get busy getting their homes ready for the holidays. As neighborhoods get ready for the traditional Halloween fun, the thrill level rises, especially for the little ghosts and goblins.
In the middle of all this busy planning are the promises of many community events, which will provide lots of chances to collect candy and have fun costume contests. Many places in the area are getting ready for Halloween by holding events that offer fun, treats, and scary things to do.
For example, one interesting event is set to take place in Rockwall, North Texas. According to Rockwall News, “Scare on the Square” event will take place this weekend where locals are invited to join and bring their pets. But who really cares about that when there are plenty of other events right here in the metro area? These are some of them:
On Thursday, Oct. 26, “Hillcrest Silver Ridge in Gretna will have its annual indoor Trick-or-Treat Street for costumed trick-or-treaters to collect candy and goodies from residents.” This beloved event will happen from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will include free refreshments. It will be a great way to start the Halloween weekend.
