The little goblins, ghouls and ghosts of Homer still have plenty of options for Halloween fun this year.

Below are several events happening on or around Halloween in Homer and Anchor Point.

Ongoing

Join in The Story Real Estate 2020 Virtual Costume Contest. It’s easy — just take a photo of your child or your family in their most creative, spooky, or fabulously homemade costumes, and post it to the Story Real Estate Facebook page by midnight on Oct. 31. Story Real Estate will award a $50 gift certificate to Captain’s Toy Chest to three lucky winners. A bonus $50 gift card to Homer Animal Friends will be awarded for the best pet costume, so don’t forget your Fur Baby.

Winners will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 3 on the Story Real Estate Facebook page and on On Top of the World Radio with Chris Story at 1 p.m. on KPEN and KGTL.
