The Pope County Fright Nights will be done on Saturday, October 29th for the season. However, they will have the building open for the Community Trick or Treating event from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
This is a lights on, no actors, child friendly time to walk through the haunted house (guided if you wish). Throughout the house, different businesses, agencies, organizations, clubs will be handing out treats.
Those businesses, organizations, clubs or just friends for the event that wish to participate, should let Kay know you will be participating for publicity notices and thank yous.
