If you missed all the Trick or Treat excitement on the Square…WOW! What a record crowd! We had over 70 costumed kids and adults participate in our Costume Contest. Special thanks to our judges this year Ricky Whitlock, Gordon Thomas, and Kyle Williamson. They definitely had their work cut out for them this year.

Trick-or-Treat on Lincoln Square provides the community with a safe place to bring children on Halloween.

Set up for tour stops will be 5:00pm-6:00pm.
