Graham was having a bloody good time … “I just do it for the kids!”

October 31, 2023

Ghouls and ghosties, witches and warlocks – and even a mummy or two – were spotted wandering Nanango streets on Tuesday night as part of the town’s annual Halloween celebration.

They were all heading for one spot … Little Drayton Street.

Nanango’s annual Halloween night is organised by Cr Jane Erkens and is sponsored by the Nanango Tourism and Development Association (NaTDA).

It’s mainly for the kids, but it’s surprising how many adults were also dressed up for some spooky fun.

There were prizes to be won for dancing (the Time Warp, anyone?) as well as best costumes.

Volunteer witches were also handing out bags of lollies (420 all up) and ice blocks, a necessary treat on a warm spring night.

Cr Erkens thanked the handful of volunteers who had slaved in the hot weather to put up all the decorations outside The Shed.

“It wouldn’t be possible without this small band of helpers,” she said.
