Neewollah on Noble!

 Saturday, October 25th
 12 PM – 4 PM
 Noble Street

Get ready for a fang-tastic afternoon packed with:
 Candy galore
 Costume contests
 Local vendors
 Inflatables & family fun
… and sooo much more!

 CALLING ALL VENDORS 
Applications are now open! But listen up, ghouls & goblins:  DO NOT send payment with your application. 
Why? Because all applications must be reviewed first — it makes things much easier (and less scary ) for us across departments if we only collect payment once you’re officially approved.

 Applications may be submitted by mail or directly through the Main Street office. No tricks, just treats… but follow the rules or you might hear our BOO! 

Mark your calendars — Neewollah on Noble is the spookiest street party of the season!
