Halloween is this Tuesday and is predicted to be one of the coldest ever locally with temperatures barely climbing out of the 40s. The annual trick-or-treat on the square in La Grange is Tuesday Oct. 31 from 4-6 p.m. And while that day may not the best trick-ortreating weather, local kids have had lot of opportunities for Halloween fun leading up to Oct. 31.

La Grange ISD held a trunk-or-treat hosted by local businesses and non-profits set up in the elementary parking lot with an adjacent Halloween carnival full of games run by teachers. The event drew hundreds.

Tuesday the Fayette Public Library hosted a Halloween Carnival that drew another huge crowd.

The 11th Annual Turtle Wing Monster Dash was held on Sunday, Oct. 22 in Schulenburg at Jack & Marys.
