Oct. 30, 5-7 p.m.
West Geauga Recreation Council (WGRC) is hosting its first annual Trick or Treat Street at the WGRC campgrounds, 8611 Cedar Road, Chester Township, adjacent to the middle school parking lot.
The goal is to create an event that gives Chesterland families a place to trick or treat in the community rather than having to go to a neighboring community with sidewalks and more closely spaced houses.
Local businesses and residents may sign up for a six-foot spot to decorate and pass out candy. Each resident and business that signs up will be provided a sign to label who they are.
To sign up to pass out candy, visit wgrc.org/volunteer or email publicity@wgrc.org before Oct. 22. The event is free to all.
