Organizers of the upcoming 11th annual Scare on the Square are seeking food and non-food vendors, church groups, organizations, and businesses to fill available booths at the popular Halloween event. Slated for Saturday, October 31, the family friendly fall festival attracted over 8,500 people to the historic brick streets of downtown Nacogdoches last year.

Vendor applications are available at www.ci.nacogdoches.tx.us, by clicking on city departments and then Main Street. Forms are also available at the Main Street Office, located at 202 E. Pilar Street, room 117 in downtown Nacogdoches. A limited amount of booth space is available, so vendors are encouraged to make reservations early. The deadline to apply for space is October 16. You can also call organizers at 936-559-2573 and have a form faxed to you.

Scare on the Square will be held from 6-9 p.m. and will host a variety of activities and events, including a karaoke contest, a haunted hay ride, a costume contest and the popular haunted house.
