The Minden Recreation Center, located off Industrial Drive, hosted its annual Halloween Fall Festival on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025.

Hundreds of trick-or-treaters of all ages visited free of charge from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. on a perfect “hallows” evening, enjoying treats, candy, bouncy houses, basketball and axe throwing, and desserts like banana pudding.

Older attendees paid just $1 to tour The Rec’s well-known and admittedly-frightening Haunted House.

The evening is a combination of trick-or-treating for the kids, while also getting to know the local police forces and fire department personnel.
