A huge shoutout to our incredible Clayton High School Stage Crew who worked together to create an amazing Haunted Walk for this year’s Fright Night! From lighting and sound to spooky effects and set design — your creativity and teamwork made it a night to remember! 💀🎃
Before you head out, remember these quick safety tips:
👻 Stay with your group — stick with friends or family!
💡 Be seen — wear bright colors or carry a flashlight.
🚗 Look both ways — use sidewalks and crosswalks.
🍭 Check before you chew — have an adult look over your treats.
🏠 Visit homes you know — and never go inside a stranger’s house.
Have fun, stay safe, and have a spook-tacular Halloween!
Clayton's Trick-or-treat hours are 4-8 PM.
