  • 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. - Community Trick or Treating (Indoor)
Volunteers and sponsors are needed for this year's annual Community Trick or Treating (Indoor) at the Fright Nights LLC Haunted House. This event is a lights on, no scary sounds or costumes, free event for the public to get the "non-scary" walk through of the haunted house located in the basement of Central Square Cultural & Civic Center.

Volunteers are placed throughout the haunted house with candy and treats to pass out to the kids as they walk through the non-scary attraction in a safe environment for trick or treating.

Volunteer Rules:
  1. Bring candy or treats (typically around 200+ children)
  2. No scaring children
  3. Non-scary costumes
  4. Be prepared to help out kids who may wish to leave or not know where to go next
  5. Be early to get to your spot (3:30 p.m.) and be prepared to help clean up your area at 6:00 when the trick or treating ends
  6. Have fun!
Please contact the Glenwood Chamber & Welcome Center if you have any questions or concerns.
