Salineoween, a day-long celebration, will be held at the Saline County Fairgrounds on Halloween in Benton. Beginning at 10 a.m., there will be rides, games, a rock-climbing wall and a trickor-treat walk for children.
“It’s an old-fashioned fun kind of day and a safe place for the family to go ,” said Yvonne Dougherty, president of the board of directors for Salineoween.
At 6 p.m., the mood changes and a series of bands perform until midnight.
This is the first year for the event, raising funds for Within REACH. Doughtery said the name stands for Redirection, Education, Advocation, Counseling and Housing.
“It is a program for the homeless aged 16 to 21. There are a lot of homeless people out there in that age group,” Dougherty said. “We try to get them in the program, educate them, help them find a job and transition them to a home of their own.”
Tickets for the daytimefestival are $2 for children 6 to 12 and $3 for ages 13 and up. Tickets for the concert that are good for the festival as well are $12. The fairgrounds are at 403 Fairfield Road.
