Marion County is Full of Treats (and Maybe a Few Tricks) This Halloween


Can you imagine Halloween with no trick-or-treating?  Well that’s what happened during World War II when sugar had to be rationed.

Oh, how times have changed!  Today, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion annually on Halloween, making it the nation’s second-largest commercial holiday.

Well, there is certainly no shortage of sugary-treats in Marion County this Halloween.  Check out some of the fun activities planned throughout the area.

Participating businesses will place pumpkins on their doorsteps for trick-or-treaters from noon until 2 pm. A Halloween party and dance will be held in the Mannington Elks Lodge Ballroom from 2 – 4 pm. Treats and costume prizes will be given away. Adults and kids alike can take part in the fun here.
