HELTONVILLE – Heltonville’s 6th Annual Fall Festival and Trunk-or-Treat was Saturday night from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., and families flocked to the event in costume to collect candy, share costumes, play on the inflatable slide, and enjoy an evening of wholesome family fun.
The inflatable slide was frequented by children who were finished trick-or-treating or those who just wanted to play.
This little one spent a good amount of time doing a Wednesday dance impression, then somersaulting and cart-wheeling around the park. Her mother barely kept up.
Sisters Olivia “Livvy”, 4, and Claire, 6, dressed as Belle and Rapunzel.
Rapunzel, Claire insisted, was her favorite Disney princess.
Claire and Livvy have come to the festival every year with their mother. When the event began six years ago, the trunk-or-treat hadn’t been started yet. Claire, just an infant at the time of the first festival, won the baby contest. They return every year.
Eden came with her grandparents Scott and Tammy Todd for the event. They’re “repeat offenders” as Eden put it, attending last year for the first time and coming back in 2023.
Most of the trunks had a theme. Pirates, ghosts, mermaids, witches, and more. It was a grand evening full of Halloween spirit and plenty of costumes.
