Parks & Rec 2017 Halloween On The Square Announced

Annual Event Looks To Bring Thousands To Courthouse Square

Last year's event brought around 2,000 to the town square.

Edmonson County Parks & Rec has been busy with all sorts of fun activities all year long, and not just those focusing on little league sports.

Last weekend they hosted a 5K run at Chalybeate Park that brought out a couple dozen runners that was followed up by very successful hayride and movie event.

"We saw the biggest crowd yet at our recent movie event," said Greg Hudson, program administrator. "Parks and Rec is all about providing activities for all families. Most people think of sports when we're mentioned, and we certainly put plenty of effort in our little league activities, but we're also working hard to incorporate something for everyone."

The annual "Halloween On The Square" is set for Halloween, October 31st, from 4pm to 7pm on the courthouse square. It's pretty simple: all kids are encouraged to show up in their favorite costume and rake in the goodies from the tables and booths that will be set up all along the square.

Hudson is also encouraging local businesses and organizations to set up booths and tables to hand out treats to all the trick-or-treaters. Please call Parks and Rec at 270-597-9103 to reserve your business/organization spot for the Halloween event.
