This year’s celebration will feature two community Halloween Hayrides designed for different age groups so everyone can enjoy the fun at their own comfort level:

• Ages 13–17: Hayride on Church Street beside the Methodist Church

• Ages 12 and under: Hayride on S. Jones Street beside the Bank of Winnfield

Each hayride will carry families several blocks through a festively decorated route filled with pumpkins, fog, and excited volunteers dressed in their Halloween best greeting each passing trailer.

More than 40 churches, businesses, and school groups will be set up along Main Street with treats and activities for children of all ages. Hot dogs will be served near Beville Street, and bounce houses will be located beside First Baptist Church. 

The Costume Contest will take place at the First United Methodist Church, in front of the Family Life Center. Registration begins at 5:00 p.m., and the contest will start promptly at 5:30 p.m.

Trophies will be awarded in the following categories:

• Ages 0–3

• Ages 4–7

• Ages 8–10

• Ages 11–13

• Ages 14–17

• Ages 18 & Up

• Theme Groups

• Pets

Bring your costumes and your crew to Main Street for hayrides, hot dogs, and full candy buckets next Tuesday evening.
