Our front page story this week focuses on the Greenville Kiwanis Club's 60th Annual Children's Charitable Auction, an event that has been featured in our paper every year, for decades. The Kiwanis Club is an organization dedicated to service of the community, and, over the years, local Kiwanians have worked with over 300 local businesses and individual sponsors to collect donated items to auction and raise funds to support the needs of area children. This year's auction will be held at the Fletcher Warren Civic Center in Greenville, on October 26th and 27th. The public is welcome, and there will be door prizes and a free meal.
We haven't forgotten that Halloween is this week, and families can find several ways to celebrate the holiday in this edition. Trick-or-Treat at the Crossroads Mall in Greenville will take place on Halloween, October 31st, at 6:00pm. A costume contest will be held at 6:30, for kids ages 0-10. Additionally, this week is the last of the annual DrugFree Greenville celebration, which wraps up with Halloween on the Square in downtown Greenville. This family-friendly function also takes place on Halloween, from 4-6pm, and will feature live music by Bad Moon Rising, trick-or-treating, games & activities, concessions, a costume contest and more. Last but not least, this is also the last week of the Shopper's Halloween Safety Coloring Contest. Check out the picture on page 11 for kids ages 11-12 years old to color and submit for a chance to win great prizes and appear in our paper!
Of course, don't forget to check out this week's edition for great deals on everything from golf carts to graveyard plots - you can buy, sell or trade [almost] anything in the Hunt County Shopper.
