Members of Milbank Fire and Rescue will host the 32nd annual Halloween Safety Stop at the Milbank Fire Hall.

Valley Queen and Ol’ Mill Meats will provide some of the goodies, but donations of baked goods from the public can be dropped off at the fire hall starting at noon that day.
As trick-or-treaters make the rounds in the Milbank neighborhoods, they will also want to swing by area living centers so the residents can see their costumes and pass out candy.

Those who want to hit the road for extra Halloween fun can visit the Kids Haunted House in the South Shore Old School on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. It includes a trunk-or-treat aspect, and organizers promise a spooky good time, but not too scary. A free-will donation will be accepted.
After the kids have returned home, the adults might want to check out the South Shore House of Horrors, created for the enjoyment of the older set. The haunted house will include realistic atmosphere and intense scares. The fulling indoor attraction is safe from the elements, and there is a general admission fee for this scare-fest geared for those 13 years and older.
