October 6 – Staff Report
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Museum of Radio and Technology will hold its second annual “Night at the Museum” Trick or Treat Extravaganza on October 28 at 6 p.m.
The event, sponsored by Spectral Research and Investigations of Huntington, is a relatively new addition to the community’s Halloween season.
“It gives the community an opportunity to come together in a unique, historic location during the holidays.” said Brian Clary, founder of SRI.
He started planning a Trick or Treat event two years ago as an opportunity to celebrate the season, but also to bring visitors to the Museum of Radio and Technology.
“With the notoriously unreliable weather of an Appalachian fall, we wanted to have an indoor event that keeps the door-to-door tradition alive, but also offers other events,” he said. “The plan is for games, crafts and even an exhibition of vintage video games, presented by the Museum of Radio and Technology! Plus, the SRI team plans to hold a competition for the best costume!”
Clary said last year’s event drew 240 people to the museum
“We hope for an even larger number and have already started stocking up on sweets and activities!” he said. “Additionally, this year’s festivities will include our friends from the Haunted Majestic, perhaps with King Majestic in tow, and our friends from Pale Horse Emporium. We hope for a much larger crowd and more activities for everyone to enjoy!”
The SRI team will open the doors of the Museum of Radio and Technology at 6 p.m. and the event will last until 9 p.m.
There is no entry fee for this event.
The Museum of Radio and Technology is located at 1640 Florence Ave., Huntington, West Virginia.
