This year, Goodwill and Gateway Mall are collaborating for another spook-tacular Halloween and offering three free events to the Lincoln community:

2. Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest: Saturday, October 21st, 2:15PM. Four-legged friends and their owners are invited to wear their Halloween best and strut the runway! We’re looking for the most creative costumes for pets. Pre-register online or register the day of the event between 1:30 and 2:00 outside of Victoria Secret. Runway show for judging will begin at 2:15. Judges will pick winners for a special prize package. All pets in attendance must be on leash at all times. Enter the center through the northwest entrance by Lenscrafters. Register here to ensure enough treats.
3. Candy Crawl Trick or Treat: Tuesday, October 31st, 5PM-8PM. Join us for a safe and fun indoor Halloween! Participating stores will hand out treats to all kids ages 12 and under.
