Garretson celebrates Halloween with activities

Date:

Trunk or Treat

On Saturday, the Garretson Commercial Club hosted a Trunk or Treat “Spooky Trail” at Split Rock Park, and the Jesse James Players held their final night of the Hike of Horrors.

The trunk or treat had a good turnout, with costumed children able to run from campsite to campsite to obtain treats. The final treat at the event was a petting zoo put together by the Garretson FFA with the help of Howe Dairy, the Scholl/Houghton family, Cheryl Scholl, and the Kringen Family. Kibble Equipment also contributed by loaning a tractor to be placed on display at the petting zoo. Commercial Club President John Brinkman said that more than 200 kids came to the event.

The Jesse James Players Hike of Horrors also had a large turnout. The first weekend was slower, especially with a winter storm hitting on Oct. 24th. However, Jesse James Player and co-organizer Marissa Wollmann reported to the Gazette that 700 people walked the trail over the Halloween weekend.

“It was so awesome,” she said. “The towns that supported the hike this weekend were Pipestone, Watertown, Bon Homme, Yankton, Hills, Madison, Brandon, Dell Rapids, Baltic, Worthington, Sioux City, Spencer Iowa, and many more. The B Squad Dog Rescue team came on Halloween night and really added some fun and intensity! We were down quite a few actors so they really saved the day. The Jesse James players will be making a donation to them!”
