Halloween is not exactly a holiday but for those who have children it can be. Halloween is so exciting for kids. With all the spooky decorations, costumes, dressing up and trolling downtown for candy…. It is great to be a kid during Halloween, especially in Cody.

With today’s crimes against kids it’s no wonder that some parents are overly protective and don’t want their kids to go trick or treating. Cody Wyoming offers a great alternative to keeping parents happy and kids safe. Every year the Cody merchants get together for a planned trick or treat activity. At 4:00 they close shop and host one of the best times ever for our little (and not so little) trick or treaters.

Trick or Treat will be on friday Oct 29th  4-6 downtown.

This is Halloween in Cody Wyoming – See Ya there!
