10th Annual Halloween Hoopla


Halloween will be here before you know it and if your house is anything like mine, you've got little goblins and ghouls begging to go out for some devilish good times that end in a pile of sweet treats.  But in this day and age, it's hard to know if you're neighborhood is a good place to go trick or treating - is it safe?  Are the neighbors participating?  Or will your monster crew be disappointed?

Enter your wonderful community.  Lots of churches and local parks & recreation centers host alternative trick or treating events for you to take your kids to - a place where you can feel safe and enjoy yourselves.

Harker Heights is no exception:

Saturday, October 31, 530pm-830pm
10th Annual Halloween Hoopla
Harker Heights Community Park
1501 E. FM 2410

The city of Harker Heights will be hosting a fun-filled evening to provide the youth in the community with a fun, safe alternative to door-to-door Trick or Treating.  Games, inflatables, candy, activities and other forms of entertainment will be present.

And as always, this is a FREE event so get out there and have a spooky good time!

Get Involved - Volunteer


Sometimes, getting involved by volunteering can also lead to FREE fun-filled activities.  Check out your local activities center, library or city hall to see what opportunities there might be.  It's a great chance for you and your family to make friends, do something together and help out those in need.
