You should start seeing the official poster for Halloween events in Madrona up today and later this week, as the community gears up for Sunday’s activities. 

The Business Owners of Madrona (BOOM) and the Madrona Community Council are coordinating on a Halloween “extravaganza” from 4-6 p.m. The Madrona Playfield shelterhouse will host a party with free treats, as well as handing out the list of clues for a neighborhood scavenger hunt. Don’t forget to turn in your completed scavenger hunt list at the end of the evening!

Many businesses will be handing out candy, with a few special activities at certain stops. Arts Aloft will have a craft for kids to paint, Buggy will host storytime with the Columbia City children’s librarian, Bottlehouse will have “Happy Haunting” with games, drinks and treats for all ages, and St. Clouds will provide seasonal drinks for adults. 

Saturday will be the traditional St. Therese Halloween Carnival, from 10:30-2:30. We’ll have more details about that event in a separate post.
