Friday, Oct. 26th, is Main Street Kent's Family Friendly Halloween: pizza, candy, jack-o-lantern contest, haunted dance party, costume contest, sky lantern release, FUN!

Friday, Oct. 26th, is Main Street Kent's Family Friendly Halloween. From 5-8pm, families are invited to come downtown for the festivities and do some exploring as the kids trick-or-treat at the local businesses. Here's the scoop:

Jack-o-Lantern Contest: Stop in at Earl's Nest (Acorn Alley, next to the Arctic Squirrel), to drop off your already carved pumpkin. We'll light them up and judge them! 

Free Pizza & Water: Come down to the Hometown Bank Plaza for a snack (while it lasts) and get your trick-or-treat bag.
