For many of us it has snuck up, and for some, it has been a long wait, but Halloween weekend is finally here. With the holiday falling on a Monday, it makes it more of a three-day event this year than a one-day holiday. Many are taking advantage of the calendar this year and holding many Halloween events before the day itself, and that benefits the residents of Twin Falls, as there is much to do this weekend and much candy to be had.

With Halloween falling on a Monday, the weekend is a prime time to have a trunk or treat event, both for the places putting them on and for all the trick-or-treaters in the area. There have already been some this past week, but going into the weekend there are so many, that there is no reason to not have a good amount of candy before Halloween rolls around. On Thursday, the Presbyterian Church parking lot at 2461 Central Avenue in Twin Falls will have one at 1 PM. On Monday, there will be multiple, including Trick or Treat on Bish's Street from 3 PM to 6 PM at Bish's at 551 Arlen Drive.

While Halloween may not be here until Monday, that doesn't mean you have to wait until then to begin celebrating. It should be a tad warmer this weekend than the last few days, and if the weather isn't too bad then you should get out and take advantage of it. There are pounds of candy to be had and consumed, and if you don't get it somebody else will. Laugh, trick or treat, go to the zoo, drink some beer, play some bingo, or stay home and binge-watch Halloween movies. Whatever you decide to do this weekend, have fun, be safe, and have a happy Halloween.
