Community Trick or Treat
In light of the current Pandemic, we would like to offer a safe way for families to get their candy this Halloween. Chamber and Welcome Center staff will be assembling treat bags prior to Halloween. The individually wrapped treat bags will be available outside the Chamber & Welcome Center from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Halloween for Trick-or-Treaters to safely and easily pick up.
If your business is interested in helping supply candy for this event, please drop off by October 22nd. We plan to make 250 treat bags. A list of all sponsors will be placed in each bag.
