VALE – Plenty of little goblins and ghosts will hit the street of Vale Thursday, Oct. 31, for the annual trick-or-treat event sponsored by the Vale Chamber of Commerce.
Local businesses decorate and stock up on candy to offer to the children in the late afternoon.
Nyssa also will have a business trick-or-treat on Halloween, starting at 3:30 p.m. Prospective trick or treaters should look for the “Happy Halloween” pumpkin sign in the window of participating businesses.
