BOOfest Plans are now underway  

 
Plans for BOOfest 2004 to be held at Fred Miller Park on Friday October 29, from 5pm – 8pm are now in progress.

An estimated 3000 children and parents attended the 1^st annual event last year where thousands of candy was distributed by area civic organizations, churches, and businesses. 

“We are working very hard planning for BOOfest 2004 to be even bigger and better”.

According to Krisna Crowder, Recreation program coordinator with Morristown Parks and Recreation, “We had no idea the impact this event would have. This year we want to be better prepared, so we are revamping the registration process to allow for easier access. We will also be adding a costume contest with several categories and a Haunted Egg Hunt.” For the vendors we will have a contest for the best decorated booth, voted on by the participants. They will receive a trophy to keep at their place of business until the next year.

 At last years BOOfest, we had approximately 35 vendors and this year we would like to double that. We encourage business, organizations or civic groups to get involved in this safe alternative to traditional house to house trick or treating. If you or your business/organization/church would like to be involved call the parks and recreation office at 423-586-0260 or stop by the office and pick up a vendor form. The cost to participate is free the only requirement is to decorate your booth and bring plenty of treats for the ghouls and goblins to enjoy.
