Zombies, ghosts, pirates and princesses prepare for Downtown Statesboro's Scare on the Square. The Downtown Statesboro Development Authority, in partnership with Zaxby's and a host of other local businesses, will throw Statesboro's largest, family-friendly Halloween celebration Saturday beginning at 4:30 p.m. "Scare on the Square started out five years ago when a small group wanted to dance ‘Thriller' on Main Street," said Allen Muldrew, the executive director of Main Street Statesboro/Downtown Statesboro Development Authority. "Now the event has grown into a thrilling community event with family fun for thousands."
