WABASH, Ind. (Oct. 6, 2021)—Wabash Marketplace, Inc. is presenting its 5th annual Trick-or-Treat Extravaganza on the Miami St. block between Market and Canal Streets in Downtown Wabash. This free event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 30 from 5-7 p.m. The public is invited to trick-or-treat at various downtown businesses and enjoy family-friendly activities.
Returning for the third year, Wabash Trucking will bring one of its own roll off trucks to dump more than one ton of candy onto Miami St. for trick-or-treaters. Candy will cascade to Miami St. promptly at 5 p.m. and trick-or-treaters can collect their candy until 7 p.m. Wabash Trucking will hide a Gebhart Golden Ticket inside a random candy bar included in the truckload of candy with a “spooktacularly sweet” prize package for one lucky winner.
In addition to the truckload of candy on Miami St., Bachelor Creek Church will present an outdoor Costume Contest at Lighthouse Mission (123 W. Canal St.) at 6 p.m. Guests are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to secure spots in the contest. The contest will be judged by age categories and a group/family award. One prize will be awarded per category. Categories include: Birth-2 years, 3-6 years, 7-12 years, 12+/Teen/Adult, and Group/Family.
