Halloween is one of the most fun times in our community and throughout the region. We are pleased to sponsor the 2nd annual “Ghost Tour” on Friday, October 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. on High Street in the Glasstown Arts District. Through the staff and volunteer efforts of the City of Millville’s Recreation Volunteer Committee and the Main Street Millville (Arts District) organization, a fun-filled evening for the entire family is planned.

The main event includes “Solve the Murder Mystery,” a CLUE-like game of intrigue! Ten business locations will hold “clues” needed to figure out Who killed Captain Joseph Buck (Millville’s founder). Gamers will seek the answers to find the correct Suspect and the Weapon that was used in the crime. You will have from 6 to 8 p.m. to gather your clues. The suspects are figures from Millville’s history.

When you think you have solved the murder, you may enter it at the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts, 22 N. High Street. There will be a prize for the winner (in case of a tie, the winner will be drawn randomly).

A Halloween Carnival of Games will be set up on the Glasstown Plaza, weather permitting. The Village on High will be the host of a fire pit, shops will be open and refreshments available.

Also, at the Riverfront Renaissance Center, there will be refreshments and a costume contest for kids and adults. Enter at 8 p.m. for the judging and prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

KIDS (12 and under)
• Scariest/Creepiest for Boy & Girl
• Most Original for Boy & Girl
• Best Famous Character for Boy & Girl

ADULTS:
• Scariest/Creepiest
• Funniest

ALL AGES:
