Good morning, Bastrop County
Halloween is Saturday, but you already knew that, because your front porch has been bracing for it since September.
First up, it's happening today: the Boo-tique Crawl. Starting at 5pm, Silver Creek Collections, Rhinestone Rattler Boutique and Magnolia Row Boutique stay open late with a dirty soda bar, permanent jewelry and brow and lash threading. Fill your punch card at all three and you're in the drawing for a Casemate bag full of goodies. Consider it a warm-up lap before Saturday.
Then the rest of the week. Texas Wienerfest brings dachshund races and costumes to McDade. Hyperloop Plaza throws a free Fall Fest and trunk or treat Friday night. On Halloween, Smithville Brewing Company runs costume contests from 3:30 to 9, for pets, then kids, then grown-ups, so nobody in the family gets out of dressing up. Sunday, clocks fall back, which means one extra hour of sleep to recuperate from the festivities. That evening the Bastrop Museum hosts a Día de los Muertos Special Evening with pan dulce, mariachi and an Honor Walk down Main Street.
Let's dig in.
