No shortage of Halloween events this weekend

Following a handful of pre-Halloween events last week, several more celebrations are coming up this weekend, as Halloween falls on Sunday, Oct. 31, this year.

In fact, one Halloween-themed event is scheduled to take place at Inspirations Senior Living, located at 931 East Honeysuckle St., where a “Trunk or Treat” celebration is planned tonight, Oct. 29, from 6 to 8 p.m.

“We hope to see all you Ghouls and Goblins for a fun and festive event and we will also have face painting and some yummy treats,” the facility’s Facebook post noted.

On Saturday, Oct. 30, the Coyote’s Den, located at 3971 E. Kellogg Road, is hosting a “Trunk or Treat” event from 6 to 8 p.m. in its parking lot.

The business is looking for the participation of car owners to pass out candy to the kids.

Hot dogs and chips will be available for $2.

Also on Saturday Oct. 30, the Game Corner Arcade and Family Fun Center is hosting a Halloween costume party and contest for both kids and adults at its 1190 East Highway 372 location.

The celebration includes prizes, raffles, full food service, along with its signature arcade housing more than 100 video games.

Categories in the “family-friendly” costume contest are: Best Kid’s Costume, Best Adult Costume and Most Creative.

Attendees can also expect music, candy and more.

Admission to the event is free.

To follow up the costume party, Game Corner is also hosting a “Trunk or Treat” event on Sunday, Oct. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m.
