Ellijay’s North Georgia Quilt Trail is the brainchild of local merchant Sherryl Adams, who had seen the trails in North Carolina and brought the idea to downtown. She and Jim Harmon are spreading the idea throughout the county.

Costume Contest for young and old — humans and pets

Games and Scary Activities

The annual Halloween celebration is set for 5:30 p.m. Downtown businesses will decorate their windows and give out candy. Other businesses and organizations are encouraged to “Trunk-or-Treat,” which is backing a car or truck into a designated space to give out candy. Spirit Awards will be given for businesses and Trunk-or-Treat groups.

Trick-or-Treaters will again compete in a costume contest in the parking lot behind North Star Emporium. Prizes will be awarded in Wee Ones, Child, Pre-teen, Teen, Adult, Family, and Pet categories.

Some businesses will provide games and scary attractions and everyone will be encouraged to visit the games at First Baptist Church’s fall festival.

Appropriate vendors can reserve a space for $25. To reserve a space to give out candy (no charge) or to sell, call the Better Hometown Office at 706.635.4711 ext. 5. Information can be handed out with, but not instead of, candy.

Better Hometown is also looking for candy donations.
