The annual haunting of Ada’s sidewalks takes place next Thursday! On Oct. 31, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 p.m., the children of Ada are invited to bring out their best costumes for the Village’s trick or treat.
Trick or treat is a fun filled evening for many in the community. Whether it’s the handing out of candy, the collection of candy, or just seeing the change in costumes from year to year, there is something for many to enjoy.
We want to encourage everyone to enjoy the festivities safely. Here are a few tips to remember:
• Stay visible! Use glow light sticks or reflective tape to accent your ghoulish outfit.
