The City of Dickson Parks and Recreation Department is teaming with the Dickson County Family YMCA and the Topless in Tennessee Jeep Club to present Haunting at Henslee.
The free Halloween event will be 5:30-8:30 pm Saturday, Oct. 26.
“Henslee Park presents an opportunity for unique community events and we are excited to team with the YMCA and Topless in Tennessee for the inaugural Haunting at Henslee,” said Parks and Recreation Department Superintendent Cherie Wilson. “We hope to provide a safe and fun Halloween celebration for the entire family.”
The Topless in Tennessee Jeep Club is relocating its highly successful Jeeps N Treats event from the parking lot of the YMCA to Henslee Park for the event. Club members will decorate their Jeeps for the season and hand out treats for trick or treaters.
Haunting at Henslee will include food trucks on the pad near the Henslee Park Playground and traditional fair-style foods like funnel cakes and more.
There will be hayrides through the hills of Henslee Park, face painting, a balloon artist and prizes.
The City of Dickson also will be participating in the Boo Fest the same day in Downtown Dickson.
The free event presented by several businesses in downtown will begin with trick or treating along Main Street at 5:00 pm Saturday, Oct. 26.
The Parks and Recreation Department will be handing out treats at Tom Waychoff Memorial Park on the corner of North Main Street and East College Street. The Dickson Police Department will present its Haunted House on the porch of the Municipal Building at 202 South Main St. The Dickson Fire Department will have treats at Station #1 at 101 Church St.
Boo Fest also will include a costume contest at 6:30 pm in Holland Park and spooky stories in Waychoff Park at 7:30 pm.
Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic for Boo Fest from College Street to Chestnut Street starting at 4 pm Oct. 26 to provide a safe, family friendly event.
