Over 36 Holladay businesses welcomed residents for a “spooktacular” evening at Holladay City Hall in October. Ann Frances Garcia, Holladay's Economic Development and Housing Manager and the lead organizer of the event, invited Holladay businesses to load up treats and bring their best interactive games for a night of tricks, treats and family fun.
The event featured a face-painting booth, pumpkin bowling, and a spook alley that even made this writer jump once or twice. In addition, a pet costume contest was held and won by the Beetlejuice pets, Bucky and Steve Wright. Participating businesses showcased their best at the Holla-ween Spooktacular, highlighting their own personal touch and the unique qualities that make Holladay a great place to shop and live.
