 In masks and gowns,

they will "haunt" the streets,

and knock on doors for trick or treats!!


It's that spooky time of year when little ones again don their favorite costumes and visit De Pere businesses for "tricks or treats." The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce's Trick or Treat event is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 10am until 12 noon. Kids (and parents) love this event. In preview years, businesses reported ranges of 50 to 400 little goblins stopping by for treats! Of course, this also means potential adult customers get a "peek" into your business.
