Drumheller area merchants have made a Halloween tradition of providing a safe place for families to do some trick or treating and share the Halloween cheer.
This tradition continues as organizers are preparing for another great downtown Trick-or-Treat.
The event can attract anywhere from 400-800 to the core where participating merchants distribute candy and good cheer.
The event is on Halloween, October 31 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. One of the organizers Amie Courtenay says this allows a safe space for younger children to participate and still allows time for kids to go door-to-door.
“It's a fun time, safe time, and people can still go out for the evening,” said Courtenay.
They will be blocking off portions of downtown to make for the Trick or Treat, and are hoping to open it up to more of the community.
“We are trying to invite more people from the community. If they want they can bring a table down and set up with us,” said Courtenay.
She says that they are accepting donations of candy to distribute to the merchants. It can be dropped at Dry Canyon Collectables or at the Faux Den.
