The main event! The carved pumpkins will be displayed along a Haunted Trail going from behind The Orange Rind to the Kingdom Trails pump track and East Burke School. East Burke School will have a trick or treating station set up at the end of the trail as well as some freshly made, hot mulled cider.

 

Cafe Lotti will be open with fun activities like pumpkin shot-put!

 

Lots of cars will be decked out for Trunk or Treat fun over at the East Burke Sports/Sport Thoma parking lot. If you want to sign up to bring your car and set up for Trunk or Treat, email burkechamber@burkechamber.com or stop by East Burke Market and talk to Kellie.

 

The East Burke Library will have a fairy garden house and lawn games.  "Due to all the rain and flooding this year our Fairy friends need us to build them a shelter for the winter, they’ve asked for our help. So please come to the East Burke Library and build a home for a fairy family.  The village will be set up in the library garden and people can come by anytime to check on the fairies."  Sponsored by Farm, Field, & Forest.

 

At the gazebo on the library green, local storyteller Joe Welch will share some spooky tales with kids of all ages.

 

Village homes and businesses will also be welcoming trick or treaters. Look for the black and orange balloons to know where kids are welcome and bowls are filled with candy!

 

Following your tricks & treats and haunted trail adventures, head to The Village Inn for hot apple cider (plus some adult bevs at The Sloshie Shed) and an outdoor movie. The Hocus Pocus movie will begin at 6pm.

 

 

SATURDAY NIGHT PARKING WILL BE AT MIKE'S TIKI BAR LOT ON BELDEN HILL RD.

 

This event is sponsored by East Burke Market, Greer's Auto, Union Bank, Titan Energy and the Burke Area Chamber of Commerce with assistance from local businesses and the Burke Community.
