WAKEENEY–A ghoulish game of trick or treat will emerge from their dark depths this Halloween in Downtown WaKeeney when a parade of mini witches, zombies, and ghosts go on the hunt for fun and sweets at our annual Halloween celebration.

The 2016 Halloween festivities, hosted by the Trego County Recreation Commission, will be another night of fun and excitement for kids and their families. Join us at 4:30 p.m. on Main Street for the annual Trick or Trunks events where WaKeeney’s cantankerous car owners will be ready to share their witch’s brew of sweets out of their trunks. But beware of the creepy crawly surprises that might show up unexpectedly from the corners of their cars!

After trick or treating float on over to the WaKeeney Courthouse Square to participate in the annual costume contest at 5:30 p.m. Prizes for the most outstanding costumes will be given and hot dogs and chips will be served afterwards.

Students from several Trego Community High School organizations, like the Kansas Association of Youth (KAY) and the Future Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) will have several traditional Halloween games, like bobbing for apples, set up and ready for the kids. What a great way to run off that sugar high from all the yummy candy they will have collected!

Come out to Downtown WaKeeney at 4:30 p.m. on Halloween night, Monday, October 31st, for a spooktacularly scary-fun event that will have your child’s bag running over with great memories, and enough candy for you to sneak a few pieces for yourself on the way home.
