Safe and Family-Friendly Halloween Fun

Halloween is nearly here. Celebrate safely with family friendly events in Aztec and Farmington this weekend. Connect and learn with local businesses at the Business to Business Expo, hosted by the Farmington Chamber of Commerce. And support the Rio del Sol Kiwanis club annual Clothes for Kids event. You’re watching the Local News Roundup, brought to you by CMIT Solutions and Traegers Bar. I’m Hayley Opsal. Come connect with local businesses at the Farmington Business to Business Expo this November. On November 9th, join the Farmington Chamber of Commerce at the Farmington Civic Center to connect and network with other local businesses. This event is the perfect opportunity to connect with local businesses and learn about their products and services. The event is free and open to the public. Every year, the Kiwanis Clothes for Kids event, hosted by the Rio del Sol Kiwanis club, provides more than 300 underprivileged children in San Juan County with new clothes. Volunteers shop with the children at Target to help them pick out $100 worth of new clothes, an opportunity they might not otherwise have. The Rio del Sol Kiwanis club has put out a call to help sponsor a child this year with a goal to raise $10,000. Come celebrate Halloween in Aztec with the annual Trunk-or-Treat at the First Baptist Church, Aztec, and the Aztec Safe Treats. From 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the First Baptist Church, dress in your Halloween best, and enjoy candy, hot dogs, water, chips, and cookies at the Trunk-and-Treat event. Multiply the fun with a photo booth and hay rides, all free. Start the fun along Aztec Main Street from 4:00 to 6:00 with Aztec Safe Treats from participating businesses. In Farmington, start the fun on Monday, October 30th, with a Pumpkin Carving Contest and Glow, hosted by The Bridge assisted living at Farmington. Carve your pumpkin to enter the contest. Suggested $20 donations will benefit Lulu’s Petals of Kindness. Drop off pumpkins between 1:00 and 6:00 PM, and come back to enjoy the pumpkin glow at 8:30 PM. On Tuesday, October 31st, come celebrate Halloween at the Farmington Boo-Palooza at Orchard Park. Come dress to impress for trick or treating along Main Street.
