Rocketober Rolls On: Downtown Trick-Or-Treating Details

Halloween2015_FBList

One event we were proud to add to the list of Rocketober activities last year: a downtown trick-or-treating event.

It was a hit. Hundreds of families took part, supporting local businesses while collecting some candy along the way. Well, it’s back in 2015 — bigger and better than ever.

Nearly 40 businesses and institutions are taking part this time, and you can see the full list in the flyer posted above. Be sure to stop at them all from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and visit Moran’s Pub for a raffle drawing afterwards. Then head to the Mill Pond Zombie House a few blocks away, or the Human Concerns Haunted House.

(Check out the full list of Rocketober events here.)

Thanks so much to Julie Arnold from Lovenote Creative and James Moran from Moran’s Pub for organizing this year’s trick or treating. This should be a lot of fun.

Be sure to use this flyer as you travel to the various businesses. Either print it, or pick one up at a participating location.

See you Saturday!

Rocketober Update: Downtown Trick-Or-Treat Scavenger Hunt Highlights Busy Saturday

It’s another busy week of Rocketober …

I want to specifically call out South Milwaukee’s downtown trick-or-treating event this Saturday. More than 30 businesses are taking part.

It’s a scavenger hunt!

Simply start by stopping at one of the participating businesses, get a game card (or print one off here), and have each additional business you stop at mark that you were there. Turn in completed game cards at I Can’t Resist Kids Resale and be entered to win prizes. Downtown trick-or-treating hours are 3 to 6 p.m.

We hope to see you and your family there, supporting our local merchants and having some fun along the way. Then, be sure to stop by the Mill Pond Halloween House, from 5 to 9 p.m.

A full list Rocketober events this week:

  • Tuesday: Justice for a Cure Day
  • Friday: Human Concerns Haunted House; SMPAC Presents Imago Theatre “Frogz”
  • Saturday: South Milwaukee Little League Kickball & Costume Contest; Trunk or Treat at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church; Downtown Trick-or-Treating Scavenger Hunt; Mill Pond Halloween House; Human Concerns Haunted House
