HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! It’s a night of fright, fun, & most importantly…candy. Whether you’re taking your kids trick or treating, or hitting up a Halloween party, there’s something spooky for everyone in O Town today! Have you heard about Tona’s super awesome Halloween party?? A sushi buffet, costume contest, & more, all for only 25 bucks! Their sushi is absolutely amazing (my mouth is watering), so go check it out! There’s plenty more going on around town if sushi isn’t your thing. The Ogden Ghost Tours is a perfect way to get scared today… is scary not your thing? Head to Union Station for country dancing! No matter what you feel like doing to celebrate Halloween, there is something for everyone. Check the list below & take your pick!

Halloween is a favorite holiday for us Indie Ogden writers & editors. Have you seen Jenny around town dressed as Poison Ivy? How cool is she? Not to mention Mikki’s awesome take on the “WE CAN DO IT” lady from the 1950s poster. Girl power. As for me, I’ve been a flapper the past 3 years in a row, which is awesome & all, but I was hoping for something else awesome this holiday season. Unfortunately when you work overnights like I do, & Halloween happens to fall during the week of midterms, a new costume didn’t happen. So I suppose it’s back to the 1920s for me…now to locate my bright red lipstick…
