Halloween Tricks & Treats 2023

Brooks County, GA—Halloween for 2023 has now passed, but Brooks County and surrounding areas out did themselves for that holiday month! If you missed out on any of the Trunk or Treats, the trick or treating, or the haunted houses well you can hit them for 2024.

Pavo’s Haunted House located in Pavo, GA came together for some scary good times every Friday and Saturday night throughout October. Visitors from all over came to this haunted house for scares, laughter, and good times. Pavo Haunted House’s last day open was Saturday, October 28, 2023, but don’t worry, if you missed coming for the tour, you can come next year. There is bound to be another scary addition to make those hairs stand on your neck and arms.

Various trunk or treats happened throughout the area and often on different dates and times. Morven, Pavo, Pineview, Quitman, and some businesses participated in brining fun to the kids with bounce houses and festival type fun. Face painting, pumpkin painting, and trunk or treating was offered for kids who delighted in having this fun. Those who missed them, don’t worry many will be coming back for the Halloween month in 2024.

Pavo Trunk and Treat sponsored by Pavo Hardware & Feed brought many to its parking lot all decked out in various themes with candy to give the kids. Morven’s Lawson Peach Shed along with Morven and surrounding area churches participated in brining their Trunk or Treat to kids but this one offered some ice cream as a treat as well.

Pineview Community Church also held a Trunk or Treat offering bounce houses, face painting, pumpkin painting of free candy with decked out vehicles to fuss over. Badcock in Quitman with help from the BC Schools also held a Trunk or Treat for the kids. Each held their own delightful decorations of trunks and buggies, and each gave kids a fun time.

Brooks County Schools also participated with their students throughout the year. Homecoming week, students dressed up in various themed outfits and participated in contests and other fun. Further into the month students participated in various activities including trick or treating for younger students, and costume contests. They are not through with their festivities just yet, North Brooks Elementary is hosting their fall dance next week.

One of the people’s favorites it seems on Halloween is Creepin’ on Court which happens each year in Quitman on the famous and well-known North Court Street. Halloween night this year saw hundreds of kids, chaperoned with adults and older siblings walking the sidewalks for the traditional trick or treat. Not to be left out, homes decked out with their Halloween décor creating some of the best set ups for the kids.

Creepin’ on Court this year had various themes but several if not all caught many of the visitors attention. Jason roamed the street, Mario gave out candy, graveyards with witches and various ghouls could be seen as kids passed as well. There was a country singer performing songs live on their porch with dancers, and further down was ghostly graveyard.

All in fun, though spooky fun it may be, Brooks County, Georgia delighted many of its citizens, visitors, and kids with the various Halloween set ups. Needless to say, next year’s Halloween is planning on bringing more of the same.
