Trick-or-treating in our own neighborhood can sometimes pose a challenge, mostly because everyone else is also prowling around in search of their own treats. I am grateful that we have lots of safe options for collecting candy.
Following are the ones that we've found so far in Douglas County, but if we're missing one, please complete our Submit an Event form so we can add it to the list!
