Spooktacular is Friday in downtown Tonganoxie
Downtown Tonganoxie gets quite festive in October as organizers prepare for Spooktacular. The event for youths along Fourth Street traditionally takes place the Friday before Halloween.
It’s almost time for trick-or-treaters to fill Fourth Street for the annual Spooktacular event.
This year’s Tonganoxie Business Association Spooktacular will be 6-8 p.m. Friday in the downtown area along Fourth Street.
Organizers are expecting a big crowd after the 2020 event was canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic at the time. The annual scavenger hunt also is taking place this week leading up to Spooktacular. The interactive scavenger hunt for children at select spots throughout town also comes with a grand prize of a stay at Great Wolf Lodge.
other activities also are happening in the coming days.
The Tonganoxie Public Library’s Halloween yard decorating contest has started. Residents can go online or visit the library for a map of contest participants. Folks then can vote for their favorite by Monday.
