🎃👻 What a SPOOKTACULAR weekend in Wabasha!
Our 2nd Annual Wabasha’s Spooktacular Nights is officially in the books, and before we put away the pumpkins and pack up the Halloween decorations, we have some BIG THANK YOU'S and CONGRATULATIONS to share! 🧡
🍬 First, let's talk about Friday night's Downtown Trick-or-Treating!
WOW, WABASHA! More than 200 kids and their families came out to enjoy an evening of costumes, candy, and Halloween fun!
A HUGE thank you to all of our downtown businesses that opened their doors, handed out treats, decorated, and helped make the evening so much fun for our little ghosts and goblins! Your generosity and willingness to participate are what make community events like this possible.
And a special thank you to Great River Homes and everyone who participated in the Trunk-or-Treat! 🚗🍭 We loved having you as part of the festivities!
To all the parents, grandparents, and families who brought their little trick-or-treaters to Wabasha on Friday evening — THANK YOU! Seeing our sidewalks filled with costumed kiddos, smiling families, and people enjoying our downtown was pretty wonderful. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
🏠🎃 Next, to EVERYONE who participated in our Light Up the Night Halloween Decorating Contest — THANK YOU!
The creativity, time, effort, and Halloween spirit you poured into your homes and businesses was incredible! From spooky and scary to whimsical and downright over-the-top, you gave our community plenty of reasons to get out after dark and explore!
And to everyone who followed along, admired the displays, shared the photos, and cast their votes — we appreciate you SO MUCH! You helped make this contest something special, and we already can't wait to do it all over again next year!

To everyone who joined us at the historic Anderson House Hotel for our Halloween Costume Contest — YOU MADE OUR DAY! ❤️
The costumes, the creativity, the smiles, and the laughter were exactly what we hoped this event would bring to our community. From our tiniest trick-or-treaters to the grown-ups who went all out, we loved seeing every single one of you!
A HUGE congratulations to our Costume Contest winners! 🏆🎃 Your costumes were fantastic, and we're so glad you came out to celebrate with us!
And thank you to the Anderson House Hotel for helping us bring everyone together for a little more Halloween fun!
🧡 But here's what we loved most about the weekend...
Seeing our community come together. Businesses welcoming families through their doors, neighbors supporting neighbors, kids proudly showing off their costumes, families making memories, and people of all ages simply having FUN!
That's what these events are all about. It's not just about the candy, the costumes, or the decorations. It's about creating opportunities for people to connect, enjoy our community, and make memories right here in the Wabasha-Kellogg area. ❤️
To our participating businesses, Great River Homes, decorating contest entrants, voters, volunteers, families, and everyone who helped make the 2nd Annual Wabasha's Spooktacular Nights possible — THANK YOU!
We hope you had as much fun as we did, because we're already looking forward to YEAR THREE! 🎃👻

🦌🔎 READY OR NOT… HERE WE COME!
The Hunter's Widow Weekend Deer Hunt Scavenger Hunt is officially UNDERWAY!
FOUR little rubber deer have wandered off and hidden themselves somewhere around Wabasha, and we're counting on YOU to track them down!
🦌 FOUR deer.
🔎 FIVE clues for each deer.
💰 $200 in prizes up for grabs!
Every day, Monday through Friday, we'll release a new clue for each deer. Today's clues are a little mysterious, but pay attention! Every word could bring you closer to finding one of our runaway deer!
HERE ARE MONDAY'S CLUES!
🦌 DEER #1 – CLUE #1
"I've found a place where thousands gather, where summer nights are filled with laughter. But when the crowds have gone away, a quiet little deer may stay."
🦌 DEER #2 – CLUE #1
"I'm not in the forest, I'm not in a field. I'm somewhere that good things are made and revealed. A little bit rustic, a little refined; a place with some character is what you'll find."
🦌 DEER #3 – CLUE #1
"Some things change, but some things stick. Around this town, old names do the trick. You might know me as one thing today, while longtime locals call me another way."
🦌 DEER #4 – CLUE #1
"I've wandered to a place where giants soar, and mighty waters meet the shore. Some come to watch, some come to learn, but finding me will take your turn."
📍 A LITTLE DEER HUNT FYI: All four deer are hidden in publicly accessible areas or approved locations at participating businesses. You will NOT need to climb, move objects, enter restricted areas, or disturb private property to find them.
🤫 Think you know where one is hiding? Don't give away your guesses in the comments… GO FIND IT!
Let the hunt begin, Wabasha! 🦌

☄️🔥 Look up, Wabasha-Kellogg, this coming week we are watching for FIREBALLS! 🌠
And no, we're not talking about the kind that comes in a shot glass! 😂🥃
The Southern Taurid Meteor Shower peaks overnight Wednesday, November 4, into Thursday, November 5, and our beautiful Mississippi River Valley could be a fantastic place to catch a little action in the night sky!
Here's what makes this one interesting... 👀
The Southern Taurids aren't known for producing hundreds of shooting stars. In fact, you might only see about FIVE meteors per hour.
BUT... WHAT THEY LACK IN QUANTITY, THEY CAN MAKE UP FOR IN DRAMA! 🔥
The Taurids have a reputation for producing FIREBALLS — incredibly bright, sometimes slow-moving meteors that can light up the night sky!
And with the Moon only about 18% illuminated, we'll have relatively dark skies to help our chances!
🌠 HERE'S YOUR STARGAZING GAME PLAN!
📅 WHEN: Wednesday, November 4, into Thursday, November 5
⏰ BEST TIME: Around midnight! Plan to watch between 11 PM and 1 AM.
👀 WHERE TO LOOK: Face the southern sky, but keep your eyes moving! Meteors can appear anywhere overhead.
🌌 WHERE TO GO: Find yourself a nice, dark spot away from streetlights. Our beautiful Wabasha-Kellogg countryside offers plenty of opportunities to escape the glow of town!
🔭 WHAT TO BRING: A lawn chair, a warm blanket, maybe a thermos of hot chocolate, and a little patience! No telescope necessary!
Now, we're not promising a sky full of shooting stars. This isn't expected to be a particularly active Taurid year. But the possibility of catching one spectacular FIREBALL? We think that's worth looking up for! 😉
❤️ There's something pretty special about living in a place where the night sky can be part of the entertainment.
So bundle up, step outside, and take a few minutes to appreciate the incredible world above our little corner of the Mississippi River Valley!
And if you catch a fireball, WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! ☄️🔥
📸 Have a great night sky photo from the area? Share it in the comments!
