With

Halloween falling on a Sunday this year, your little

ghosts and goblins will have three days to celebrate the

holiday. There are dozens of Halloween activities for

children of all ages and interests to enjoy this weekend,

many of them costing nothing.

First and

foremost is trick-or-treating. Unless your neighborhood

has decided on a different strategy, trick-or-treating

will be done on the official holiday on Sunday. Start

expecting trick-or-treaters at dusk, which will come an

hour earlier than usual due to the time change.

If you

would rather have your child trick-or-treat Saturday and

in a mall, Shannon Mall in Union City will offer

trick-or-treating for children under 12 beginning at 5

p.m. Children can wear their costumes and go store to

store and collect candy.

If you'd

rather not celebrate the holiday with trick-or-treating,

many local churches will be having fall festivals.
