HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS
We're trying some new ideas this year. Most of the magic happens at the Historic Columbia Market House—fascinating demos, a spooky dungeon tour, and other surprises. Outside of the Market House will be a wicked vintage decorated car show. To top it off, you'll get to vote for your favorite car and decorated house in town. It'll be a scream! Tickets only $10. Ticket purchase and details coming soon.
