Halloween!
Halloween is just around the corner. Falling on a Saturday, students will be able to fully enjoy the holiday weekend, indulging in sweet treats without any worry of bedtimes. Trick-or-Treaters are sure to check out State Street, which is known for their spooky decorations. It should be noted, however, that there are dedicated Halloween celebrations all around town. Kim Ranweiler's impressive collection of animatronic creatures on Willow Road is an attraction worth viewing. Those looking for a scare should be sure to check out New Ulm Nightmares at the Brown County Fairgrounds on Saturday. Halloween is a great time to get out in the community.
