Like The Blob or a Zombie Outbreak, Cashiers’ Goblins on The Green has broken loose! Now all of Frank Allen Road is one big Halloween Block Party – 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. Saturday, October 26.
If you’ve lived in Cashiers or Southern Jackson County for any length of time, you know that Goblins on the Green has been a safe, slightly scary place for Mummies and Daddies to bring their little witches, wizards, and superheroes to The Village Green for Halloween.
Well, that experience has somehow gotten 11 times better with the second annual Halloween Block Party, set for 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. Saturday, October 26, along Frank Allen Road. This twilight celebration is the product of The Village Green, Albert Carlton-Cashiers Library, Cashiers-Glenville Recreation Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club of The Plateau, and lots of community sponsors of The Village Green like Premier Sponsor Landmark Realty, Spinx, Cashiers Valley Real Estate, Ingles, Rusticks Furniture and Accessories, and The Laurel Magazine.
Participants young and old (because even grownups are invited) can dress up for Southern Jackson County’s Halloween Block Party. From 5:00 to 7:00, the community will be able to walk along Frank Allen from The Village Green to the Cashiers Fire Department and join in on all the Halloween festivities staged by each organization. The Village Green will hold trunk-or-treat with fellow nonprofits, the Library will host fun games and give away free books and candy, the Recreation Center will have a Halloween bash with decorations and inflatables and lots of candy, Fishes and Loaves will participate with candy, and the Boys and Girls Club will host fun Halloween festivities and have hot dogs under their pavilion.
“Dress in your best Halloween costume and join us for this second annual Halloween Block Party on Frank Allen,” says Ashlie Mitchell, the Village Green’s executive director. “I can promise you plenty of treats, and maybe a few tricks along the way!
