    This is an event hosted by town merchants and the elementary school PTO. The Main Street is blocked off for the event which includes a costume parade, costume judging, music and dancing, performances (magic and musical), a Halloween scavenger hunt, Halloween themed carnival games, and a walk through the Laurel Hill cemetery (decorated with spooky scenes). Early hours are great for young kids (no aggressive scaring) but later times include jump scares. It is a fundraiser for the PTO with some pay for play activities and some that are free.
