Halloween isn’t just for kids – everyone can get in on the festivities. For anyone not trick-or-treating, there are several places around town to partake in Halloween fun.
For kids of all ages, whether you are 7 or 70, the Swank Farms Corn Maze will be having a Halloween show with food and live music.
KTOM radio station will be broadcasting from the maze from 3 p.m. until midnight, DJ-ing live for the participants.
Local country-rock band 8 Second Ride will also be performing live from 7 p.m. until midnight.
Hay bales will be set up around the band so people can sit and listen to the music, with an area in the dirt for anyone who wants to dance.
“It will be dirty dancing,” said Dick Swank, owner of the maze.
The cost will be $14 to partake in all the festivities, and $10 to go through the maze. A barbecue will also be set up, with boxed dinners of hamburgers, chips, a soda and cookies for $5.
People are encouraged to come in costume, however masks are prohibited, Bonnie Swank said.
“They can’t put anything over their face,” she said. “Everyone needs to be identifiable.”
There is a mini-maze set up for children under 5, who are admitted free.
For the 21 and over crowd, Johnny’s Bar and Grill will be hosting its annual Halloween and karaoke bash, said bartender Sylvia Combie.
“We’ll be giving prizes for the best costume and karaoke combination,” she said.
The festivities begin at 8 p.m. and will go until the bar closes.
Seniors can still get involved with the holiday at Jovenes De Antano, where they are encouraged to dress in costume for the noon luncheon at the center.
“We’re giving three prizes to the best costumes,” said Isabel Ybarra, the site manager for the dining area at the center. “People can parade with their costume through the tables (to be judged).”
The center hopes to have between 60 to 70 people at the luncheon and will be serving hamburgers.
