This is a fun time of the year for everyone no matter how old. When else is it socially acceptable to dress up in costumes ranging from cute to bawdy. Several of the region’s neighborhoods are famous for their Halloween activities. Here are a few of the most popular.
Waynesville – “Treats On The Streets”
