Youngsters are certain to have a frightfully good time with a number of Halloween-themed activities in the coming days.
The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Trunk or Treat is set for 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Halloween on the east side of the courthouse square, where several groups and businesses will dispense an assortment of candy and other goodies to the costumed recipients.
Meanwhile, LaHarpe Health & Wellness is sponsoring its own Trunk or Treat activities from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday in the LaHarpe City Hall gymnasium. Free hot dogs and hot chocolate will be served, while youngsters can take part in a number of board games, coloring projects and other activities. Those who would like to sign up for a table should reach out to Health & Wellness Director Courtney Frame at [email protected]
Meanwhile, Miss Chlesea’s Dance Academy is offering “The Cellar,” a spook house extravaganza from 6 to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday for younger children and 8 to 11 p.m. for those willing to get an extra scare.
The Cellar is hosted by Paul Porter and Hayley Derryberry in the old Shannon Building at 20 W. Jackson Ave.
The Slaughterhouse, a separate haunted house organized by Allen County Dance Parents Fundraising and Miss Chelsea’s competition dance team, is set for Friday and Saturday at the Recreation Community Building at Iola’s Riverside Park.
The Slaughterhouse also is offering scare-free fun for the first hour before cranking up the thrills for the balance of the evening.
