by | Oct 17, 2024 | Area News, Latest

Frightfully fun times are ahead for those visiting the 18th annual Boo on Ballard event Thursday, Oct. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. in downtown Wylie.

Ballard Avenue will be full of local businesses and nonprofit organizations passing out free candy to “children of all ages.” A record number of around 80 businesses and organizations are expected to attend, said Robert Heath, event coordinator. The Cross Church’s Trunk-or-Treat event will give guests more opportunities to collect candy. Marble Street will be lined with more than 25 vehicles filled with treats and unique decorations. Fall-themed games and special photo areas for families will also be provided by the church according to Dan Marengo, communications minister.
