Description
The Battle Ground Chamber of Commerce and several partner organizations are offering family-friendly Halloween activities at the 37th Annual Halloween Fun Fest on October 31. Each year, hundreds of families with young children enjoy traditional trick-or-treating down Battle Ground’s Main Street, east of SR-503, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm with businesses that display the jack-o-lantern sign. The “Trick or Treat Trail” is a new aspect in the Battle Ground Plaza parking lot for businesses to set up in 10x10 spots to hand out candy - this is a great option for those businesses not on main street. The City will be at the Community Center from 4-6pm with games, activities, and prizes, while also collecting for the North County Community Food Bank.
The Halloween Fun Fest will kick off with businesses vying for the Spirit Award & Best Scarecrow Contest judged by Mallard Landing residents. The judging is based on originality and creativity. The Spirit Award is presented to the business showing the most spirit by its Halloween decorations and by its employees who dress for the occasion. The Best Scarecrow prize is presented to the business with the Best Scarecrow placed in either the front window of the business, as ‘greeter’ inside the front door, or outside the business. All aspects of each entry (decorations, costumes, scarecrow) must be ready the morning of the 31st for judging from 10:30am – 12:00pm. Mallard Landing judges will then enjoy a lunch hosted by Burgerville. Businesses interested in competing for either or both contests must call or email Kendra Laratta with the Battle Ground Chamber of Commerce at kendra@inkabilitybg.com or 360-723-0151 to register by noon on Friday October 26th.
