The annual Safe on the Square event put on by the Coffee County Children’s Advocacy Center will be from 2:30 until 5 p.m. this Thursday, Oct. 31. 

One of the biggest downtown events of the year, officials expect 2,000-plus trick-or-treaters and family to be downtown for the event. Everyone is welcome to attend the annual event that was setup as a safe means of trick-or-treating. Also, drivers should be aware of trick-or-treaters on Thursday night, not just in the area of the square, but in all neighborhoods. 

If you are allowing your child to go trick-or-treating, the TBI has issued a warning to “know before you go” in terms of knowing the whereabouts of registered sex offenders.
