Here be dragons! Trick or treaters who come to downtown Olympia on Halloween 3:00-6:00 P.M. on October 31st will find more than free treats. Businesses taking part in the “Here Be Dragons” Halloween event also will give out entries for treasure chests full of prizes and gift certificates.

A friendly dragon will be hidden in each participating location. Once a trick or treater finds it, they will be issued an entry form for the huge treasure chest drawings to be held at 6:30 P.M. at Archibald Sisters, 406 Capitol Way South.

“Every year this event has grown, bringing more fantastically costumed kids and their families downtown. We’ve heard them say how much they enjoy the downtown environment for trick-or-treating. It’s safe and friendly with no long, dark driveways!” said Toni Holm, station manager of Mixx 96.1 KXXO.

Downtown Olympia businesses wishing to be part of the fun may contact Julia Pintello at 360-943-9937.
