Kids of all ages can have some scary Halloween fun at the Eureka Hotel’s Shreek-Reeka.  There will be a haunted house along with tons of candy and maybe even a few games for the kiddies.

Come on out and join the Eureka along with various non-profits and local businesses in celebrating the best dress up day of the year.

Dogs can get all dressed in their Halloween bests and bring their owners to Highland Manor for the Trick-or-Treat “Tail Gate” Parade.  Yep, that’s right, all you decked out pups can join the fun and costume contest, who knows…you may even win a prize for best costume.

All pups must be accompanied by their less furry family members and family members must be kept on a leash.

By far the best choice for the weekend other than collecting candy is the Virgin Valley Theatre Group’s production of Nana’s Naughty Knickers.

You won’t want to miss the last chances to see this fun and funny comedy either Friday or Saturday at the Mesquite Community Theatre; show time is 7 p.m.

The cast received a standing ovation at the matinee showing last weekend and have been keeping their audiences in stitches.  If you miss this show, you’ll have missed out on the best fun around town and it won’t rot your teeth.

Join the Mesquite Police as they host Trunk -or-Treat at the Recreation Center on Halloween night.  Trunk or treat begins at 5:30 p.m. and is a much safer alternative to going door to door.

Nevada Day is October 31, please be aware that city offices, banks, schools and the library will be closed in observance of the day.

We print as much of the calendar in the paper as space allows but you can always check the complete calendar with a full list of weekly recurring activities which will help keep you fit, informed and entertained at www.mesquitelocalnews.com.

Remember to send all your meeting, events or entertainment information to tphilswife@aol.com; please put “Community Calendar” in the subject line or your submission may get overlooked.   I’ll be happy to help you spread the word.
