The events are being sponsored

More than 2,500 elementary

costumed school children, teachers and parents will travel to the historic

district Friday morning to place their decorated jack-o-lanterns in pre-determined

locations. The pumpkins will adorn the grounds of the Old Courthouse,

City Hall, Heritage Park and the Gazebo.

As in years past, schools participating

in the walk include East Fayette Elementary, Hood Avenue Elementary, Fayetteville

Elementary and Springhill Elementary.

Later that evening many of

the children, along with their families, will return for awards and festivities

beginning at 6 p.m. at Heritage Park in the Stonewall Village county government

complex. Participants will receive a "Trick or Treat on Main Street"

bag of goodies and each student participating in the Pumpkin Walk will

receive a certificate signed by Mayor Ken Steele, Fayette Community Hospital

CEO Darrell E. Cutts, and his or her school principal.

"Trick or Treat on Main

Street" will continue through Halloween evening at designated locations

within the downtown district. Main Street Manager Nancy Price is encouraging

citizens to come
