TWIN CITIES TRUNK OR TREAT, TOUCH A TRUCK, MOVIE NIGHT AND MORE OCT. 26

A collaborative effort between the City of South Fulton's Parks and Recreation Board, Fulton Parks Board and the Fulton Tourism Commission will provide a full day of Fall family fun in the Twin Cities of Fulton and South Fulton this Saturday.

On Oct. 26, downtown Fulton's Lake Street will be the site for a Touch A Truck event, where children can enjoy a hands-on, up close and personal encounter with a number of vehicles from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Beginning at 2 p.m., a DJ will provide music from the Ventures Village gazebo, where shops will be open there. Kids' games, pumpkin painting and a bouncy house will also be available. Ventures Village is a group of artisan shops, located adjacent to the Fulton Farmers Market, on Walnut Street, and the downtown Lake Street area of Fulton.

From 5-8 p.m., a Trunk-or-Treat event will be staged in South Fulton's Unity Park, with groups, churches, civic organizations, businesses and families invited to set up a trunk or treat display to distribute candy to trick or treaters. 

The Shriners train will be on hand for train rides, a bump and jump, game stations, a candy drop, hot dogs, chips and drinks will be available.

A chili cook-off will be staged, with entries accepted at 4 p.m. on the Unity Park stage.

Contributions of cat or dog food will be accepted from those in attendance, to be donated to the Fulton Pound.

All morning events and the Trunk or Treat activities are free. 

To cap off the evening, the movie "Hocus Pocus" will be shown at Fulton's Pontotoc Park following the Trunk or Treat. Those planning to attending the viewing may bring lawn chairs or blankets watch the movie. Popcorn and drinks will be available for sale.
