Whether you like to take the young ones out trick or treating, or get dressed up yourself and enjoy treats of a more adult nature, there’s plenty to do this year in the Crestline area.

Crestline

• The Alpine Mall celebrates with a Fall Festival on Saturday, October 25th. Enjoy family-friendly holiday fun with a scavenger hunt, pumpkin painting and more.

• Enjoy family-style trick or treating at the Crestline Library from noon until 4pm on Friday, October 31st.

• The 5th Annual Crestline Chamber of Commerce Merchant Trick or Treat Night takes place on Friday, October 31st from 4pm until 6pm. Take your kids trick or treating at local businesses and enjoy family fun such as face painting and giveaways. Look for signs in the window of participating city businesses.

• The Stockade Boot Hill haunted house will be running nightly October 25th through 31st from 6pm until 10pm. Admission is $5 for those ten and older, with proceeds benefitting the Crestline Creative Arts Foundation (CCAF). They will also be accepting additional canned food donations for the Crest Forest Family Agency Food bank. The haunted house will be located at the Stockade Grub & Whiskey (23881 Lake Drive), next to the Ace Hardware, and should be pretty creepy as one of the CCAF founders is actor Reggie Bannister, who starred in the classic horror film series Phantasm.
