Halloween arrives early in downtown Kingsville

Story and photos by Paul Forman 

Division and Main was a sea of young ghosts and goblins in search of sweets as hundreds of families descended upon Kingsville’s core for Trick or Treat Kingsville on the morning of October 26. 

Presented by the Kingsville BIA, this year’s festivities were sponsored by Del Fresco Pure, Access County Community Support Services and Arts Society of Kingsville (ASK).

BIA Kingsville Coordinator Jodie McIntyre shared that this is the third time that this family event has been held and that over 50 businesses welcomed revellers during the goodies giveaway.

Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre served as the site for businesses wanting to participate that are not located in the downtown area, while also serving as the venue for spooky storytelling in the building’s haunted library and demonstrations by Purple Dragon Martial Arts.

Jim’s Sub Shop on Main Street was one of the businesses participating in this year’s Trick or Treat Kingsville. Pictured outside Jim’s, on the right, is Sayde Abisaba handing out treats to Lillianna Corchis dressed up as Bluey the Puppy and her brother Logan Corchis in skeleton garb.
Monica Gustafson of ASK captured the attention of the young ones with her storytelling skills in Carnegie’s haunted library.
