South Milwaukee always does Halloween right, and this year is no exception, as we ramp up to Halloween night trick-or-treating.
Today, it’s the Friends of Grant Park Trek ‘n Treat. From the Friends …
On Sunday, Oct. 9th, from 1 to 4 pm, Trek ‘n Treat is back again to satisfy all of those anxious ghouls, goblins, Spidermen and princesses. Featuring many stations along the Seven Bridges ravine trails in Grant Park, learn about the natural plants, animals, birds and insects that live in the park, and then get a treat. Participants can come in costume (or not) while hiking with their family. There are other activities and refreshments for sale after all that in the area 5A brown pavilion.
