Sweet Street is a Great Halloween Family Getaway in the North Conway Area

Are you considering a family getaway to enjoy Halloween in the North Conway area?  If not, then you should!  Sweet Street is just what you need.  Remember the days when you would enjoy Halloween and Trick or Treat for hours going all over the neighbor?  Well, now your children can enjoy it as well.  Sweet Street is a safe, old fashioned Trick or Treat block party for children 10 and under.  Sweet Street allows children to stroll down spooky pumpkin lined streets in Jackson Village and collect goodies from displays set up by local businesses and families.  This sounds like fun to me!

In addition to enjoying Trick or Treat, children will be able to enter the Spooky Carved Pumpkin contest, join the Spooktacular Costume Parade, or just enjoy the warmth of the harvest bonfire.  Of course there will be cider and some old fashion country music to enjoy as well.

Sweet Street will be held in Jackson Village on Saturday, October 31^st.  If you do plan to enter the Pumpkin Contest, registration starts at 2 P.M.  The major Trick or Treat event starts at 4:30 and if you have any questions, just call the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce at 383-9356.

Happy Halloween from the Innkeepers at the Old Field House Inn!
