Trick-or-Treat Down the Street a HUGE Success!

Last week, thousands of ghosts and goblins lined the streets of downtown El Dorado.  It was the perfect combination of good weather, children, and candy to make it a successful event. 
The El Dorado YMCA reports that 1,500 children went through the haunted house that they built and hosted.  This does not count the many children who came in for candy and decided that the haunted house was not the place that they wanted to check out.  SunGroup Realty prepared 1,000 hotdogs and were out in record time.  By 5:45p.m. they had gone through all of them.  The District 142 building passed out candy and proudly reported that they did not run out of candy this year because they prepared for more than ever and had over 2,000 pieces of candy ready to give out! 

We want to thank the over 50 businesses and organizations who participated in the event this year.  With the cost of candy so high, we know that this is quite the commitment.  We appreciate your generosity to the children of our community.
