A spooktacular tradition is returning to Washougal’s Main Street for the first time in years.
More than a dozen downtown Washougal businesses and organizations will host a family-friendly trick-or-treat event from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31.
“It should be a fun event,” said event organizer Tabitha Schmer, an agent for Cascadia NW Real Estate in downtown Washougal. “Based on the feedback and responses that I’m getting already, I have a feeling that it is going to become a much larger event than I had anticipated, which is amazing for the community. It seems like a win-win (for community members and businesses).”
Community members “are invited to come downtown in costume and meet local business owners,” according to Valerie Ross, owner of the Music Con Brio piano studio on Main Street.
Business owners will pass out candy to children, who will have the option to collect stamps on a “passport” card and collect prizes for visiting all of the participating locations.
