The Freeman’s Halloween Carnival
Monday, October 31, 4-8 p.m.
Freeman house, corner of C and 6th streets
Rain or shine, the Freeman family will be putting on their eighth Halloween carnival with a Harry Potter theme. Trick-or-treaters will get a wand, chocolate frog and large candy bag upon entering and can win lots of other prizes and treats as they make their way through the carnival. The Freemans are prepared for 650 kids. They will have 17 volunteers this year, a bonfire and hot toddies for adults. Carnival areas will be covered.
Many Harry Potter characters will be present, but event host Gina Freeman said it will be very kid friendly – not too scary. Eight best costume prizes will also be awarded.
Last year the carnival was Pirates of the Caribbean themed and had 535 kids and a total of 1,200 people who came through the yard. It was partnered with a festival at the Blaine Food Bank. The food bank is not holding an event this year, but donated to the Freeman’s carnival. Freeman said she was grateful for all of the help food bank general manager Sally Church has provided.
