Fall events calendar to include annual favorites
The first day of fall is still be several weeks away (Sept. 23) and temperatures may still be hovering near triple digits, but that’s not stopping the Wills Point Chamber of Commerce from working on several community favorite events scheduled to take place before the end of the year.
BOO on the Bricks
The annual BOO on the Bricks celebration sponsored by Dukes Travel Plaza will return to the brick streets in downtown on Saturday, Oct. 31. Family friendly events are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., and stretch into the early afternoon.
The overall event schedule is set to include the Harvest Health Fair hosted by Alinea Family Hospice Care, trick-or-treat through the entire downtown, a kid’s costume contest hosted by STEPZ a pet costume contest hosted by Blair Dog Center, the annual Trunk-or-Treat and more.
Additionally, vendors will be onsite and a play area with inflatables will be set up. Information for those wishing to attend or set up as a vendor can be found by visiting the event’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/530807107058741/, or by contacting the chamber at 903-873-3111.
Christmas on the Bricks
One of the longtime staples of the local holiday calendar and a recent addition to the list of Wills Point favorites have both been scheduled for Dec. 12.
Christmas on the Bricks is scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and include familiar favorites like the Texas Fire Alarm sponsored car show, Russell Memorial United Methodist Church sponsored Breakfast with Santa and Wills Point Community Angel Tree, 5k Reindeer Run and live entertainment.
Additionally, vendors selling food, crafts and arts will be onsite. Organizers have also announced that this year’s parade, always a big draw for the community, will carry a Christmas in the Movies-theme in 2015.
