Hometown Halloween in Arlington
Saturday, October 31, Downtown Arlington welcomes kids in costumes of all kinds for trick or treating. Participating businesses the entire length of Olympic Avenue will have candy available from noon until 1:00, and there will be "trunk or treating" in the parking lot by City Hall, sponsored by Lifeway Church. A costume contest will be held at 1 p.m. at the Legion Park Gazebo, with prizes provided by the Local Scoop Café.
Arlington Hardware welcomes entries in its annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. Judging will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, with prizes for all entries and the grand prize of a new bicycle. Pumpkins of a different kind will be the focus of a pumpkin pie contest at Legion Park. Pies will be judged at noon by Mayor Margaret Larson, school Superintendent Kris McDuffy and Teri Bravomejia, an award-winning baker.
The Great Pumpkin Roll also returns this year, thanks to Lifeway Church. Bring your lucky pumpkin to First Street Hill (off of Olympic Ave.) after the costume contest at 1:30 p.m. Pumpkins will be rolled down the hill at 2 p.m., and prizes will be awarded.
