The City of Clinton’s newly formed Main Street Clinton program hosted Fall-O-Ween Spooktacular at the city’s Vance Park located behind the M.S. Bailey Municipal Center on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Main Street Manager Adele Alducin had an exciting line up of entertainment, games, and vendors that are sure to appeal to all ages. Alducin designed the festival along the lines of an old- fashioned carnival with games for the young and young at heart, craft vendors for the shoppers, tasty food for all, a costume parade that includes pets, a witches broom race, early afternoon dance party, and two shows by Rockin' with Leonardo - a Parents Choice Award Entertainer. “Community involvement has been huge,” Alducin said, “and I am so very thankful for all who have volunteered their time to be a part of this event.” Various organizations and groups from Clinton High School offered to festival attendees an assortment of fun games and activities. There will be photo opportunities that will range from fall and Halloween décor, trains, and even photo opportunities with the CHS Red Devil Mascot (photos of CHS Facebook page). The SC Empowerment Centre offered photo props and backgrounds. District 56 offered a book giveaway for festival goers. Additionally, many local businesses, organizations, and churches pitched in to help run games and provide prizes. Students from Presbyterian College’s Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority were very helpful with preparations for the event as well. City vehicles and personnel will also be on hand to provide safety information and other giveaways regarding city services - festivities were arranged to coincide with October as Fire Prevention Month.
