Cranbrook’s Downtown Trick or Treat event on Saturday, October 31 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. promises to be an adventurous activity for participating merchants, shoppers, observers and costumed gremlins.

“We’re building upon past success with this Halloween event,” says Joey Hoeschmann, new chair of the Downtown Business Association (DBA), which organizes and supports many fun activities in Cranbrook’s downtown core. “It should be a lot of fun and a busy time. The event happens to land on a Saturday this year and businesses are enthusiastic,” he adds.

Parents can bring their ‘costumed cuties’ for mid-day candy collecting while they get their shopping done. Treats can be collected at participating businesses identified by the “TREATS HERE” poster on public display in their shop or on their windows. Posters are available by contacting the DBA at [email protected].

The Downtown Business Association focuses on promoting a vibrant downtown atmosphere and is actively committed to giving a voice to the unique needs of merchants that operate within its boundaries.

The organization’s good relationship with the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce combined with confirmation from Mayor Lee Pratt that the city is pro-business and progressive has given the DBA renewed confidence. An upcoming membership drive will invite new members as well as encourage involvement in several directors’ positions.
