From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 28, the annual Bowling Green Trick or Treat hosted by local businesses will draw hundreds into the down-town area for some early candy.

Maryann Gibson, who owns and operates The Flower Basket, organized the trick or treat event almost 20 years ago. Gibson said prob-ably 90 percent of the merchants in downtown Bowling Green participate.

She said it’s a great way for kids to come out and trick or treat with their friends and family.

“The first year we did it, there were maybe a hundred kids. Last year, there were prob-

ably over 800,” she said. “This year, we’re ex-pecting anywhere from 800 to 1,000 people downtown.”

Businesses giving out treats will display an orange pumpkin in their window or outside. In addition to candy, some businesses give out coupons or other small items from their store. Gibson said The Flower Basket will give out carnations to moms who are with their kids. Grounds For Thought coffee shop and book-store will also be giving out books.

Gibson said she looks forward to the trick or treat because it is a great way to give back

to the community. “People in the town keep our doors open

and I am a firm believer in giving back to them,” she said.

Downtown BG Director Barbara Ruland said the town gets a lot of help from the com-munity to make sure the trick or treat goes smoothly. She also said there will be a photo-grapher offering Halloween photo packages.

“It’s a great event and a great way for BGSU students to come help out down-town,” she said. O
