Treats in the Streets is back in Simcoe this weekend.
On Saturday, Oct. 24, the Downtown Simcoe Business Improvement Area (BIA) is hosting its annual Halloween event, Treats in the Streets, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Enjoy family time downtown – in costumes – collecting candy from participating businesses, and having some Halloween fun.
“It’s amazing. Some of the places had like 700 candies to hand out (last year) and they were done by about 1 o’clock. It’s a lot of fun,” said Les Anderson, Downtown Simcoe BIA coordinator Les Anderson, expecting a huge turnout, rain or shine.
