Fall Fest
This year's Fall Fest events include Trick-or-Treat (for all ages), Halloween Hunt, and a business/residential Scarecrow Contest.
Trick-or-Treat
Each year, businesses open their doors to welcome young trick-or-treaters during business hours. On October 31, from 2-4:30 p.m., trick-or-treaters of all ages are welcome to collect goodies from participating businesses.
This year, the treats will be handed to trick-or-treaters instead of them being able to select their own goodies. Business owners have been asked to distribute treats from an upon entryway, or outdoors (weather permitting). Please look for a sign in the windows of businesses to confirm they are participating.
A digital map of all participating businesses will be posted here, and on Facebook, the week of the event.
Business/Residential Scarecrow Contest
Fall Fest will also mark the return of the Scarecrow Contest! We are opening the competition to residences this year as well, and we will have voting for both business and residential entries.
Scarecrow Contest entries are due by October 25. Voting will occur online on the Ritzville Chamber's Facebook page from October 27 - November 3. Entries can be submitted to ritzchamber@gmail.com.
Halloween Hunt
A family-friendly addition to our Fall Fest activities will be a Halloween Hunt. This Halloween-themed scavenger hunt will be throughout town. Businesses are displaying paper characters in the window of their businesses, and each character is numbered. Halloween hunters will need to record where they find each character, and the person who finds the most will receive a prize! The Halloween Hunt will run from October 26-31.
