Towns County’s Halloween draws hundreds of trick-or-treaters

HIAWASSEE, GA – The one-day rain delay did not deter hundreds of trick-or-treaters from attending Towns County’s Halloween event on the courthouse campus. The line for candy extended beyond Hiawassee City Hall, nearing Main Street, as ghouls and goblins awaited their turn to circle the courthouse porch for treats. Towns County Historical Society offered tours of the “haunted jail” on Halloween’s stormy eve, the night prior to the county’s postponed event, estimating approximately 280 visitors at the spooky site.
