Trick-Or-Treat With Main Street
To Make Return To Clifton Oct. 31
Bv David Andersi in
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
CLIFTON — Plans are already
being put into place for the 8th an-
nual Trick-or-Treat With Main
Street promotion. The event will
be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday,
Oct. 31, at businesses throughout
the city. Local residents are also
being encouraged to participate.
The event is designed for chil-
dren age 12 and under, and Main
Street recommends that all chil-
dren be accompanied by an adult.
“For everyone’s safety, we espe-
cially urge the parents and chil-
dren to cross the streets
downtown at the designated cross-
walks,” said event chairman
Kathy Wilson. “We will have cross-
ing guards to help everyone cross
the busy streets safely.”
In past events, over 40 local
businesses have signed up to par
ticipate, with other related activi-
ties occurring during the two-hour
event that brings literally thou-
sands of children to town. Letters
to businesses asking them to par-
ticipate have been sent out. Busi-
nesses not contact by mail wishing
to participate can contact Wilson
or the Main Street office at the
numbers below.
The downtown area will be
blocked off for safety, and mem
bers of the Clifton Volunteer Fire
Department will be manning
many of the downtown crosswalks
to help children across the streets.
A “pumpkin patch” will feature
photos of the children with “The
Great Pumpkin” at a nominal
price.
Main Street is reserving the use
of Heritage Plaza and several
other sites downtown for residents
who want to set up and give away
candy and other treats. There will
be no charge to participate, but
Wilson asks that those planning to
participate in this manner contact
her with any questions.
“Over the years, as this event
has continued to grow, many resi
dents have noted that trick-or-
treating in their neighborhood has
all but ceased,” said Wilson
“Some of those residents say they
miss the contact with the young-
sters and wished they could par
ticipate in some way. We think
we’ve found that way,” Wilson said.
For more information about the
event, contact Wilson at Tha Wash-
house at (254) 675-4331 or Main
