The werewolves will be howling down Main St. as our scary residents fill downtown WaKeeney for the annual Halloween Festival on Oct. 31. The free public event begins at 4:30 p.m. on Main and Russell, with businesses handing out candy to trick or treaters.

At 5:15 p.m. there will be costume contests for newborn to pre-K, K to 5th grade, and 6th grade and up for Best Overall Costume, Scariest Costume, and Most Original Costume.

The festival includes TCHS social clubs overseeing games on the courthouse lawn and at 5:30 p.m. the Trego Rec Center will be hosting a free hot dog feed for everyone.

Call the Trego Recreation Commission at 785-743-2595 for more information about these events.
