Eleven participating businesses and organizations invite all little ghouls and goblins to strut their costumes from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Treats will be handed out along with mystery puzzle pieces, so kids can make up their own puzzle card to be entered for the gift basket drawing.
Begin at the Bradbury Museum and head up Main Street. End at S&S Family Foods. Visit all these locations for your treats and puzzle pieces: Bradbury Logging Museum, A Blue Moose, Pierce Hardware, The Vug, The Roost, The Mop Shoppe, Compassionate Care Co., Studio 205 Art Gallery, The Outback, Cedar Inn, and S&S Family Foods. Your final puzzle piece will tell you where to enter the Main Street Pierce Kids’ Drawing.
We want to see all those costumes, so “scare” your parents out with you!
