Ghosts, goblins, princesses, witches, wizards, super heros and many other characters are in for a treat this Halloween.
Once again, many of the downtown stores will be opening their doors for trick or treaters to visit on Saturday, October 31.
Mike Todor of 3rd Avenue Arts said the stores hand out candy as a way to say thank you.
“A number of businesses will be open on the Saturday from 4-6 p.m. to hand out candy,” he told The Mail adding that those participating usually see about 700 children trick or treating.
“It is a big event for downtown. It is great to see all the kids and to see them having a good time and it is an excellent opportunity for the businesses downtown to say thank you. It is great for the community,” he said.
The Drumheller Dragons will be hosting the Olds Grizzlys on Halloween night and will also be handing out free candy to those in costume and will be giving fans an opportunity to win prizes at the game. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
