LOWER LAKE – Merchants are hosting the “Lower Lake Safe Halloween” event this Saturday, Oct. 31.

There will be fun for the whole family, including goodies and prizes on top of free fun and entertainment, plus a magic show, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The event was created to give parents a safe Halloween option. Parents can have a place to take their children and feel better knowing the goodies and entertainment comes from established trusted businesses.

This is the second year of the event – which is, in part, a thank you to the community – and organizers are expecting a larger turnout than last year.
