HUMBOLDT — A chance for local children to get more candy on Halloween is coming back.

The Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters Humboldt and Area, are once again hosting a Halloween drive-thru.

It starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31 at the chamber’s office at the campground. There is a silver collection which goes towards Big Brothers Big Sisters

Brent Fitzpatrick, the chamber’s executive director, said last year, as a reaction to the pandemic, they organized the drive-thru in half a week. From there, they handed out more than 6,500 treats in 275 bags for trick-or-treaters.

“It was just a perfect event and my belief is if it works once, you do it again,” he said.

The event also raised a few hundred dollars for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The chamber is asking for donations of candy and money for the Halloween drive-thru. Cash donations will be used to buy candy from the chamber’s members.

“It's just such a fun event,” Fitzpatrick said. “It's not a business thing but there's things that you do as an organization in the community because it's a good thing to do and it's fun to do. This is one of those events.”
