The spookiest time of the year is here. Today, kids will be out and about trick-or-treating. and downtown Drumheller is once again welcoming families to come for some spooktacular fun.
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., many downtown businesses are open to give out Halloween candy to scary little ghosts and ghouls.
“It’s something the business community puts on for the children,” said Connie Tremblay, an agent with Re/Max Drumheller and organizer of the downtown Halloween events. “Some of the businesses will decorate their buildings. It makes it a lot more festive.”
There is more than just the candy downtown. D.A.R.T.S., which is on 1st Street East and 3rd Avenue, will once again be transformed into a terrifying Haunted House open to all.
There will also be some good old fashioned pumpkin carving at the Re/Max office on Centre Street.
Businesses will carry signs on their windows indicating they are participating.
Everyone is welcome to come out.
“All the kids can come dressed up, walk around downtown, collect candy, pop over to the haunted house, and carve a pumpkin. It’s safe and still light outside, which makes it nice. Parents don’t have as far to travel and they can finish all their trick-or-treating by supper,” said Tremblay.
