Thank you all for stopping by the Blachford House in Miller to Trick-or-Treat last Friday! We absolutely loved seeing everyone — so many amazing costumes and smiles! 👻
We counted around 170 visitors (and may have missed a few 😉).
A few of you asked about our Haunted House — we plan to bring that back in 2027! In the meantime, we’re hoping to get back on track and host our 2nd Trunk-or-Treat next year with our wonderful community on 3rd Street, north side of the Blachford House.
Thanks again for making Halloween so much fun!

We’re beyond grateful for the amazing town of Huron and all the surrounding communities who came out for the 2025 Trunk or Treat! The turnout was incredible — hundreds of kids and families, so many smiles, and some truly awesome costumes. 🎃👻
A very special thank you to Prairie Smiles Family Dentistry, The Salvation Army, Iverson Motors, Our CFI Fãmily, the Huron Fire Department, Huron Ambulance, and the Huron Police Department for helping make this event such a success. Your support and community spirit mean so much! 💜
