The Pumpkin Patch is bare now; all the pumpkins have found a home for Halloween. Main Street Buda is a little bit quieter, too, after Saturday night’s Boo-da Halloween event. Hundreds of costumed kids and parents enjoyed collecting treats from all the participating businesses.
More Halloween fun will be at the First Baptist Church of Buda on Halloween night from 6-7:30 p.m. All kids are invited to the Trunk-R-Treat and Fall Festival at the church located at 104 South San Marcos Street in Buda (two blocks behind Cleveland’s). There will be jumpy houses, free hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and fun carnival-type games and decorated car trunks for giving out candy.
The day after Halloween (Friday), Buda Dental Professionals at 220 Main Street in downtown Buda will “buy back” the candy between the hours of 3-6 p.m. Drop off your unopened candy and get $1 per pound. The candy will be shipped overseas to our military troops. Also enter your name in a drawing for a $100 Toys “R” Us gift card.
