Trick-or-treaters will have plenty of places to pick up candy this week, as local cities will be having numerous Halloween festivals.
The action began on Tuesday night, when the Decatur Chamber of Commerce held its annual Treat Street in front of Huff Auditorium.
Chamber Director Mark Buntyn said East Central Community College handled the setup and tear down of the event. Local businesses could show up and take a table to hand out candy and other goodies.
The Town of Decatur also held its trick-or-treating in town on Tuesday to coincide with the annual Treat Street.
See next week’s edition of the Appeal for more coverage of the annual event.
