🎃 What a SWEET night on Broad Street! 🍬

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Sweet Treats on Broad Street! We had an incredible evening celebrating Halloween with our community, and we're excited to share that 810 people came out to enjoy the festivities! ❤️

From trick-or-treating and the petting zoo to special performances by Thrill the World and the Wayward Dancers, there was something for everyone! Families enjoyed costumes, food from OBB and Batter & Bloom, and plenty of Halloween fun. It was a wonderful evening filled with smiles and memories across the Mid-Ohio Valley.

A special THANK YOU to all of our visiting vendors and community partners who helped make the evening possible:

📖 Gideon International
🏠 D&R Heating and Cooling
🐐 R&R Highland Farm Petting Zoo
💜 Westbrook Health Services
🥞 Batter & Bloom
🍽️ OBB

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to our event sponsors, the YMCA Board of Directors and Blue Prints Foster Agency, for their generous support!

Events like this remind us what makes our community so special. Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, participated, and helped bring this tradition to life.

810 smiles, lots of candy, and one unforgettable night! We can't wait to do it again next year! 🎃
