Truck to unload 1 ton candy at Wabash trick or treat event

WABASH, Indiana (WANE) — A truck dumps a ton of candy onto a street in downtown Wabash for the city’s trick-or-treating event.

The annual Trick-or-Treat Extravaganza brings families from Northeast Indiana together to enjoy the Halloween celebrations.

Wabash Trucking brings a candy-filled truck to be dumped on Miami Street. “Gebhart Golden Tickets” with “creepy sweet” prizes are hidden in five chocolate bars.

A spokesman for the event said the shipping company has been ordering packages of candy since August, and the weight is at least a ton.

In addition to the truckload of candy, families can trick-or-treat at more than 15 local shops in downtown Wabash. There will also be a costume contest, spooky mini-golf, food trucks, vendors and more.

The spectacle takes place on October 29 from 5 to 7 p.m. and begins at 5 p.m. with the candy dump. In the event of rain or bad weather, the event will take place on October 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m
