The Second annual Freakytown event will be held Saturday, October 30.

The event is hosted by Fredericktown Revitalization Initiative (F.R.I.) members.

Registration for the costume contest (sponsored by New Era Bank) will begin at 5 p.m. on the stage in the park on North Main Street. Immediately after the costume contest there will be storytelling on the stage.  At 7 p.m. the Republican Club will be showing “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” near the Farmer’s Market pavilion, also on North Main.

Other expected activities starting at 5 p.m. are Nu Zeta Witches Brew, face painting, pumpkin decorating, and a professional photographer to capture you in your scary costumes.  Many other games and activities will be available including more story telling at the Ozark Regional Library.

In addition to last year’s Civil War Ghost surgeons there will be a new feature provided by the Higdon Christian Church “Sailing for Christ Treasure Treat,” featuring a Pirate Ship and treats for the children.
