Communities embrace fall fun, frights

by | Oct 16, 2025 | Area news, Latest

The Scare on the Square event in Farmersville always includes a host of creative costumes by attendees.

Cooler evenings and the scent of fall in the air can only mean one thing — it’s time for a month full of pumpkins, costumes and family-friendly frights. Communities across eastern Collin County are gearing up for a spirited October, offering everything from hayrides and bike rides to costume contests and trick-or-treating events.

Step back in time — and into a few local legends — during the Historical Society’s Candlelight Tours of the Historic Bain-Honaker House. Learn about the “House of Widows” and other eerie tales as you tour the home by candlelight from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Oct. 17–18.
