Special to Guthrie News Leader
Ghouls, goblins, and creepy-crawlies of all ages will be able to enjoy Halloween celebrations to fit any schedule in Guthrie, this year. From “Trunk-or-Treat” Events to Fall Celebrations to Historic Ghost Tours to one of the scariest “Super Haunts” in the country, there is something for everyone.
Official Trick-or-Treat night for the City of Guthrie is Monday, October 31st during and after the Downtown Guthrie Trick or Treat Event. Those homes that welcome trick-or-treaters, should indicate that by turning on porch and exterior lights. Homes without lights on should be avoided.
Downtown Guthrie Trick or Treat will be on Monday, October 31st, from 4 to 6 p.m. Hundreds of children in costumes will flood the downtown area in costumes for Halloween candy and fun! Local merchants will be handing out candy and other surprises.
