Community Halloween Events Start Saturday

Community Halloween Events Start Saturday

Get out your candy bowls and finish up work on your children’s costumes – and yours. Halloween time has arrived, and there’s plenty of spooky fun planned in the Rockbridge area over the coming days. As usual, there are trick-or-treat events planned in downtown Lexington and Buena Vista on Halloween Day, Tuesday, but the fun actually gets underway in Glasgow and Glen Maury Park this Saturday with trunk-or-treat events. And there are several other events on the Halloween horizon. Among those other events are the National Honor Society Halloween Fair at Rockbridge County High School from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday and a Halloween cakewalk and raffle at the Natural Bridge firehouse sponsored by the Natural Bridge Ruritan Club starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The trunk-or-treat event at Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista starts at 5 p.m. Saturday, and area residents wishing to hand out candy from their vehicles are welcome to participate. Some of the campers are also expected 10/25/2023 12:00 AM
