Treats & Tails Halloween Event

Attention kiddos! Put on your Halloween costume and join us for some early trick-or-treating fun! Bring a bag to collect your goodies and feel free to bring your pets and families, too. The event is free, courtesy of the Highlands Youth Advisory Board and Highlands Fiber Network. All are welcome!

Trick-or-treating activities are designed for kids aged 3-10, and all kids must be accompanied by an adult. Please reserve a timeslot for each child who will be trick-or-treating. Adults and babies (who are not trick-or-treating) do not need a timeslot. Pets do not need a timeslot and will have a separate entrance if they aren’t in a group with kids.

Any kids and their families attending without a timeslot will be invited to wait in the standby line until we have an opening.

We appreciate your patience and support as teen volunteers run this event.

What to Expect

Costumes are encouraged and each child should bring a bag for their treats. Please plan a little extra time for traffic and parking to ensure you arrive on time. Be prepared for the weather, as the lines will be outside and uncovered. We will do our best to get everyone in during their selected time window and from the standby line, but we appreciate your patience as we navigate through the process.

Entry will be permitted ONLY through the main door. When you arrive, those with timeslot reservations should find the line for their time. The standby line will be on the south side of the building along Park Drive.

Once inside, kids are invited to follow the orange path on the floor to engage in activities planned and run by local youth as well as local businesses. Please do not attempt to visit the stations out of order. You may choose to skip a station; however, you will not have the option to go back. We estimate the time to go through all stations once you’re inside will be about 15 minutes. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so feel free to capture the fun!

Pet trick-or-treating will be on the patio located on the east side of the building. Look for the green pop-up tent! You may enter the patio directly with your pet(s) – no need to wait in the main lines. There is no access to the main trick-or-treating from the patio.

A few important notes:

• If you have a timeslot reservation, we are not able to accommodate any additional children with your group. All children must have their own reservation or join the standby line.
• We are not able to accommodate entries after your reserved time. If you arrive after your 10-minute time window has ended, you will be asked to join the standby line.
• If you do not have a time slot (or are waitlisted), please join the standby line when you arrive. We do expect everyone will be admitted, the wait just might be a little longer.
• The line will be closed and there will be no admittance to anyone arriving after 2 p.m. We will do our best to accommodate everyone in line at 2 p.m.

We look forward to a spooktacular time!
