Carp creamery serving greatest Hallowe’en treats

CARP – And if you make it through the Hallowe’en weekend parties, make sure you hit the Carp Custom Creamery on Hallowe’en’s official day (Oct. 31).

Carp’s favourite ice cream shop is giving out ice cream on Hallows Eve.

“Free Kids size soft serve for all kids wearing a Hallowe’en costume,” Carp Custom Creamery staff released in a statement Oct. 20. “Offer available Friday, Oct. 31 at both locations.”

Sorry, Constance Bay, both locations mean Carp (3763 Carp Rd.) and Carleton Place (49 Moore St.).

The Carp location will be open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Carp Hallowe’en Walk

CARP – Also, Hallowe’en night, get your steps in during the scariest walk of them all.

The gang at Meadowridge Circle in Carp will be hosting their annual Hallowe’en walk also known as Carp Fear.

“They had it last year for the first time in the village, and will be doing it again this year,” Bonnie O’Connor told West Carleton Online. “It is held on Oct. 31 at 6 p.m. going until about 9 p.m.”

Gather at 153 Cavanagh Dr. and 120 Robertlee Dr. to go in the scariest walk of you life. 

“Anita Gibbons is the creator and has done many of these haunted walks in the past, mostly at her home on Jacob’s Gate in Carp,” O’Connor said. “She moved into the village last year. Certainly, lots of screams and laughs are heard there all night.”
