It will soon be the last day of October and there are many events going on in Logan County to celebrate this special time of the year.

The square in Russellville will once again be the center of the action for Harvest Fest from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on October 31. This event, sponsored by the Ministerial Association, is “a safe option for trick-or-treat,” said organizer Gary Cross.

Several churches, businesses and organizations will set up booths with games for children to play. All players win candy and small prizes. All the games are free and there will also be inflatables for the children to enjoy at no cost. There will also be food for sale and a cake walk.

All proceeds from the event go to Good Samaritan, an organization that helps low-income families. Cross said they encourage all who attend to bring a canned good to donate to Good Samaritan as well.

Cross said they could use some volunteers to help set up and take down the booths. For more information or to find out about volunteering, call the Baptist Association at 726-2392.

Also on the 31st, Crossroads Church will be hosting a Fun Fest beginning at 5:30 p.m. for ages 0 through 6th grade. There will be lots of candy, inflatables and games, face painting and a costume contest with a prize for best animal costume and best Bible based costume. Big giveaways begin at 7 p.m. This is a free event and the community is invited. For more info, call 726-1400.

In Lewisburg, there is an annual Harvest festival in front of city hall. Lewisburg Mayor Ken Whitson said they rope of the street by city hall and the fire department and churches, businesses and other groups give out candy and such. There are games as well, and music at the fire department. Whitson said everyone is asked to bring a canned good to donate to local charities.

“It's a good time,” Whitson said, “and it's safe.”

The Lewisburg event usually begins at 5 p.m. and lasts until around 8 p.m.

In Auburn, there will be trick-or-treating at Sugar Maple Plaza sponsored by Hanks Properties. The Halloween night event will last from 4 to 6 p.m. All businesses, church groups and organizations are invited to set up a display table and distribute candy to the children.
