We are making a list and checking it twice. Join us for a practical, no-nonsense workshop designed to help small business owners plan and execute holiday promotions—without the stress and last-minute panic.

We will spend time mapping out your holiday promotional plan and collaborating with peers to get real time feedback on your offers.⁠

own Center Trick-or-Treat – Friday, October 25, 4:00pm – 6:00pm

The Chamber of Commerce and the City of Mercer Island have partnered again this year to host Town Center Trick-or-Treating. The route is open to any business who would like to hand out treats!

For this event, we will provide:

• A pumpkin window decal to show that your business is a stop on the route.
• Inclusion on the Trick or Treat map – The map will be available digitally and in print form. We will also set out A-frames at stops the day of the event.

 By signing up to participate, business agree to:

• Hand out treats to community members – Where possible, we encourage businesses to keep treats outdoors to limit gathering indoors and keep a better flow.
• Promote the event through your specific channels – We can provide copy and images/visuals for newsletters, social media, etc. Just let us know what you need!
• We encourage businesses to get into the spirit by decorating your windowfronts, wearing costumes, and offering other themed activities. However, none of that is necessary to be included on the route that we promote. 

This event brings out many families and they get a chance to explore downtown and learn about businesses they might not have been to before, we recommend being prepared for 600 trick or treaters.

To join the Town Center Trick-or-Treat map, please email Katie Herzog: Katie.herzog@mercerisland.gov by Wednesday, October 16.

Enjoy a scavenger hunt down the barn aisle as you say hello to the horses before entering our haunted trails. Swing by the Cook Shack for some hot cider and sweet treats, before finding your way to the cookie-decorating loft. Enter our magic arena and visit with an enchanted unicorn or the rarely spotted ‘Super Onyx’ (smile for the camera!), and don’t forget to stop by the Fun Games Arena and Arts Corner to express your ghoulish creativity.

To reach the entry gate, head east on SE 68th and turn right just before ICW. Parking is available at the nearby QFC lot. The Saddle Club suggests a donation of $20 / family, which will support the MISC Junior Fund & Barn Operations.
