"Due to the impact of 2 Hurricanes on our organization, many of our event partners and our First Responders/ Law Enforcement partners, we have decided to cancel our Halloween event at the Fairgrounds in Palmetto on 10/31. We hope to be back with a great event in 2025. We encourage everyone to join us at the Manatee Sheriff's Office Spooktactical Event at their HQ on Wednesday 10/30."
