Halloween is Oct. 31 in PTC

Have no additional fear, Peachtree City officials assure residents: Halloween

is Oct. 31 this year, as it is every year.

"The city does not change the date for Trick-or-Treating" advises

an announcement on the city's Web site, unlike some municipalities

that have tried to change the date when kids swarm into the streets, most

often for safety or religious concerns.

Meanwhile, the Peachtree City Volunteer Firefighter's Association

pumpkin sale continues through Halloween at Weber Station (482 Peachtree

Parkway South) and Leach Station (110 Paschall Road). Proceeds will help

the PCVFA toward the purchase of uniforms and equipment and provide training

to better serve the public.

Fire Station a very scary place

The Peachtree City Fire Department will sponsor a Haunted House this Friday

and Saturday from 6-11 p. m. at Leach Station (110 Paschall Road off Highway

74 South, just past The Avenue). Admission is $5 per person (advanced

tickets available at Leach Station for $4 per person). Children under

12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Due to graphic nature

of some scenes, parental discretion is advised. All proceeds generated

will go toward the purchase of emergency/rescue equipment and uniforms,

along with providing the professional training of firefighters/EMS personnel.

Please come and help support your local Fire Department.
