Parents and kids looking to trick or treat on Halloween will find plenty of opportunities downtown Smithville, at the County Complex on South Congress Boulevard, and other places in the county.
It’s the annual “Smithville Boo Bash” Tuesday, October 31 from noon until 5:00 p.m. Participating businesses downtown will have candy and special treats for the children. The offices at the Community Complex will also be participating in the Boo Bash again this year.
The public square will be blocked off around 11:30 to make it safer for everyone participating in this event.
“Look for businesses with an orange pumpkin displayed in their windows. Several people will also have tents set up handing out candy. We are excited to see the trick or treaters again this year and the themes and decorations the businesses come up with,” said spokesperson Beth Adcock.
“Bring your children to town and trick or treat in a safe and friendly environment and don’t forget to stop by City Hall and get a slice of pizza, hotdog from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and candy from an officer and all our other businesses,” added Adcock.
The Chamber will be sponsoring the Best Costume Contest for the businesses and offices awarding 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners.
