Frightfully fun night! No tricks but lots of treats will be offered to those daring enough to come in costume 7 p.m. Oct. 26 to the Germansville Fire Company.

Together with the 2000 Club Ticket drawings, the firehouse will host a huge Halloween Night in the downstairs social hall.

Monetary prizes will be awarded for the best and most creative costumes.

Costume judging (by the way of an inside parade) will take place promptly at 8 p.m. In costume or not, you don't want to miss these silly and scary sights.

The kitchen will also be open for supper offering lots of hometown favorites. So, bring your family and tell your friends to come out for a bite to eat.

And don't forget to save the date for the big final drawing of the 2000 Club ticket on Nov. 3.
