Some 8,000 people passed through Station 1 on Halloween night in 2023 so donations are needed to help meet the demand and make this year's event fun for all ages.
The traditional Halloween fun is back for another year at North Bay Fire and Emergency Services Station 1.
Everyone, regardless of age, is invited to attend the Halloween festivities on Oct. 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. (or until the candy supply lasts).
The popular Halloween night Haunted Fire Hall event returned in 2023 following a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic and 8,000 Halloween revellers turned out.
