It's that week!!! Halloween week is so busy each year and it's always tough navigating a holiday that is during the week! The biggest question asked by anyone new to town is: Is there actual house to house trick or treating on Halloween and where? Now I've only lived here since 2020 but I've always been told that Benson St, starting in town and walking down almost to Quality Foods and back does trick or treating (and in years past the road was closed so it was much safer) but Laurel Glen Subdivision off Athens St is also another place.
Here is the recap on ALL that is going on each day in the Hartwell/Royston/Bowersville/Lavonia areas with a link for Elberton at the end.
According to my FB, everyone had a great time at First United Methodist last night for their event! It's usually an awesome one to attend. Or you might have been at Fields of Faith last night on the Football field!
