1st Annual Spooky Town

Calling all ghouls and boys for a spooky skele-bration!

Mannford has always had a huge turnout for Halloween events. In fact there are so many events at different times throughout the month that its hard to keep up with. Last year we compiled all of those events on a master schedule to make it easier on families and business to take part.

Businesses, organizations, churches, neighborhoods and the central town area have events whether it be trick or treating, trunk or treats or event haunted trails and spook houses. Make sure you get your event on the master calendar. This helps ensure all information is in one spot so we can enjoy spooky season to its fullest!

This year we’re adding a “Haunt your House” decoration contest. Entries open Oct 1st and close Oct 25 at 5pm. Register your house here: https://mannfordchamber.com/haunt-your-house-registration/
