The children of Warren County will have no shortage of options when it comes to trick-or-treating this Halloween.
General trick-or-treating around the city is expected to take place on Halloween night, Oct. 31. Because that falls on a Sunday, many people have asked if trick-or-treating will be moved to Saturday.
McMinnville officials have said they don’t determine when people celebrate holidays and suggested for people to trick-or-treat on Halloween. The city’s early curfew will be in effect on Halloween night, meaning all juveniles must be off the street by 9 p.m.
Multiple churches and other organizations are having their own trick-or-treat events either on or before Halloween.
For those who want to get started early, Westwood Church of Christ is holding a Fun Fest on Wednesday night, Oct. 27, beginning at 6 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to put on their costumes and enjoy games, face painting, food, candy and fabulous prizes.
This Friday is Trick-or-Treat Downtown McMinnville where trick-or-treaters go from business to business gathering candy from 2 to 5 p.m. Participating businesses will have a pumpkin displayed in their window.
Also on Friday, there will be a drive thru trunk-or-treat at the Children’s Advocacy Center on Sparta Street from 2 to 5 p.m.
Hot Wheels Skate Center will have a Scary Skate and Costume Contest on Friday from 7 to 11 p.m. Admission is $8 and skate rental is an additional $2. The costume contest will be at 8 p.m. with six different categories. There will be prizes for each winner.
