Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in our Halloween Spooktacular event this past Friday, October 29!
We had a record-breaking attendance at the event, which had many activities for attendees to enjoy including: a haunted house, trunk or treat, costume contest, photo booth, bounce house and slide, food trucks, music and more.
Mayor Tim Meerbott, Vice Mayor Michael Callahan and Council Member Suzy Lord took part in the festivities and took to the stage to greet attendees.
The golf cart parade was also a big highlight of the event, which had a record-breaking number of participants. Well over 800 golf carts and vehicles arrived to Cutler Ridge Park to participate in the annual tradition. While we love to see our community come together, the volume of golf carts in attendance was much higher than what was anticipated. The attendance, coupled with a few other factors created multiple hurdles for the golf cart parade. Our sincere apologies go to everyone who had a poor experience as a result—we hear your feedback and understand your frustration.
As many of you know, these golf cart parades have become a signature event of our Town. Before every parade, our Parks & Recreation and Police staff meet multiple times to discuss the logistics, map and drive the route, ensure the streets are clean and in good condition, and look at other important details.
Through your feedback, firsthand observations and other historical information, we’ve begun to consider the changes and improvements needed to make sure the next event and golf cart parade runs smoothly—providing the positive and uniting experience these parades have been known for.
Thank you to all the local businesses, food trucks, trunk or treat participants, vendors and organizations who participated in the event!
