The church will also operate a barrel train and bounce house on the Fourth Avenue side.

Pocket Park will be the scene of professional photo sessions with Memories by Melissa. Two 4x6 inch prints are available for $15. A variety of bounce houses and slides will be set up on Beaton Street in front of Pocket Park.
Collin Street at Beaton will be the site of a costume contest, sponsored by Wally’s Party Factory, beginning at 4 p.m. Nearby, Shall We Dance Studio will offer fun dance demonstrations at 106 W. 6th Avenue. Main Street’s Great Pumpkin Patch at the Visitor Center will be open until 6 p.m.
Participating downtown businesses displaying “Trick-or-Treat Here” signs will offer goodie giveaways for the kids. Many will have special holiday products available for early gift shopping.
Afternoon street closures will include Beaton between Fifth Avenue and the Chase Bank drive-through, Fourth Avenue east of Beaton and Collin Street west of Beaton.
