🕷️🕸️ THE SPIDERS ARE ESCAPING DOWNTOWN! 🕸️🕷️

You may have seen these creepy-crawly spiders popping up around our Downtown Carthage businesses…and now you can take some home, too!

We have sets of Halloween spiders available for just $5 per set (originally paid $25/set)! Add them to your windows, porch, bushes, office, classroom—or anywhere that needs a little extra Halloween fun! 👻🕷️

💵 $5 per set — CASH ONLY

📍 Pickup at the Carthage Main Street office, located on the side of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.

🚗 How do you know if I’m here? Look for my red Jeep parked right in front of my office door! If the Jeep is here, chances are I am too! 😄

Quantities are limited, so come grab your spiders before they crawl away! 🕷️🕸️

Let’s cover Carthage in creepy crawlies for Halloween! 🎃

It’s almost Fall, and that means it’s time once again for Halloween on the Square! This year’s event will be held on Saturday, October 31, from 5–7 PM.
If you’d like to participate, please fill out the form. You do not have to be a downtown business—everyone is welcome to join us! You may purchase candy with us or bring your own, but please plan for 1,500–2,000 kids.
Remember, the purpose of this event is to bring families downtown and remind them of everything our community has to offer. It’s not about getting people into your store that evening (unless that’s something YOU want).
For those joining us—welcome! We’re so glad to have you in Downtown Carthage. This is a wonderful way for all of us to give back and say thank you to our community. ❤️
