Stakeholders sought for new community Halloween event in Carson City
The Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department is seeking support from businesses, organizations and individuals in the community to bring an all-new community Halloween celebration this year to the Nevada state capital, Recreation Superintendent Dan Earp said.
"We are looking for local businesses and organizations to help us make this even truly special for our community," he said. "We look forward to creating this safe experience for the community and hope to grow this into an annual event."
Earp said the planned event would include activities at multiple venues, including the Carson City Community Center, the Carson City Library and the Carson City Aquatic Center, which would feature late swim hours and a Halloween-themed "dive-in" movie after 6 p.m.
The library will host games, crafts and costume contests from 4 to 6 p.m., he said.
The community center, Earp said, will be open between 4 and 6 p.m. for trick-or-treating and a family-friendly haunted house.
Earp said local businesses and organizations are being sought to occupy 10-by-10 pop-up tent spaces inside the community center where they can help pass out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Portions of the community center parking lot will also be closed off for food trucks at the event, he said.
Community stakeholders are being asked to help at the Halloween celebration either by being a sponsor, decorating tables and spaces, passing out candy, and/or hosting a family-friendly haunted house.
Businesses and organizations are welcome to promote their products or services, Earp said, but only pre-packaged candy is allowed to be passed out. No homemade treats.
Anyone interested being part of the community Halloween event should call Earp at 775-283-7422 or email him at djearp@carson.org.
