Trick or Treat At Clinton Community Center

October 31, 2018

Clinton Community Center/Recreation Department and the City of Clinton put together a trick-or-treat event Sunday afternoon at the Community Center. Coordinating the event was Tyler Huddleston, Meghan Ellis, and Zeke Rich. At least 2,000 trick-or-treaters attended the event. “We had kids line up down to Broad Street,” Huddleston laughed. “It was amazing.” The event drew 30 vendors and considering Sunday’s activity was organized in 30 days, Huddleston was very pleased with the number. This is the first such trick-or-treat event and Huddleston said, “We had to wait for permission.” Next year’s organizers hope to have double that number. All treats were free for the kids.

Bottom right: The “Best Costumes” belonged to Clinch River Tattoo and Coffee owners Brandi Cameron (as Bride of Frankenstein) and Patrick Cameron (as … Some really scary-looking dude). Helping out with the “probable” ton of candy given away Sunday were: Tommy’s Motorsports, Erb Allstate, Anderson County High School Volleyball team, Cantrell, Goodge and Associates, and “Linda.” — Ken Leinart photos
