Snack foods were a popular theme for our local K-9’s, but kings, fairy’s a spooky spide, and even a walking “poop factory” graced the Fairgrounds from 10-11 a.m. The dog parade, and costume party was just part of Saturday’s full day of Halloween events put on by the Town of Jackson.

The event was followed by the Little Shops of Horror which featured, crafts, various booths, as well as a kids costume party and the first annual “trick or trunk” – where kids were given an opportunity to trick or treat with the rest of the community. Saturday at the Fairground was capped off by the All Hallows Eve Ghost Town Ball at Heritage Arena which featured music by the Bush Pilots, a scary western theme, and an adult costume contest.
