Halloween 2023 is sure to please

By Brenda Erdahl

Halloween is almost upon us. For those of you who haven’t made any plans yet, there are plenty of area events to keep the entire family entertained.

Maple Lake Elementary Halloween Carnival

The always popular Maple Lake Elementary Halloween Carnival returns this year on Saturday, Oct. 28 from 3 to 5 p.m.  The event, put on by the Maple Lake PTA has been a staple in the community for the last 45 years. It provides a safe place for children to dress up and have some Halloween fun all while raising money for school programs and events. This year, the PTA’s goal is to raise money for a new elementary school playground.

Maple Lake businesses will be handing out treats Tuesday, Oct. 31 from 3 to 5 p.m. as part of the annual Chamber of Commerce Business Trick or Treat.
