Halloween falling on a Sunday has caused some changes to when merchants in Pendleton and Hermiston will hold trick-or-treat events. A majority of the stores participating are not open on Sundays.
In Hermiston, downtown trick or treating will be held on Friday. Treats on Main and Beyond will be from 3-5 p.m. Then the fun (recommended for those 10 and younger) continues at the Hermiston Community Center from 4-6 p.m. A teen Halloween party is planned at the Hermiston Public Library at 2:30 p.m. Friday.
Saturday is when downtown Pendleton merchants will have treats for children from 3-5 p.m. A similar event is planned for McKay Creek Estates from 3-6 p.m. Also on Saturday, the Heritage Station Museum is holding the Heritage Haunt from 3-5:30 p.m. It is described as designed for young children and will feature the spooky caboose and some new surprises.

It will host its free Halloween Carnival and the Pendleton Convention Center Sunday from 2-4 p.m. There will be a costume walk, fishing, bobbing for gummy worms, face painting, and other activities for children of all ages.
