Paris, Tenn.–Everyone knew that last weekend’s Spooktacular was a big success, but now that the city of Paris pulled the data on the exact number of people who attended, it’s known just how big of a success it was. There were some 5,800 attendees at the event, participating in the costume contests, walking trails, spooky games, trick or treating, and watching the city drop ‘Pumpkin Pete’ from the bucket truck. City officials said, “Thank you to everyone who joined us at the park—you made the event so much fun! And a big shoutout to our Parks Department for all the hard work they put in to make this day possible.” City of Paris photo.
