W 102712 SQUARE SCARE 01 — In this file photo, the sun sets over downtown Statesboro as Heather Wilson, center, of Brooklet walks with sons Landon, 6, left, and Clay, 3, while Clay's twin brother Cole gets a ride on the shoulders of dad Donnie Wilson during the 2012 Scare on the Square hosted by Mainstreet Statesboro and the Downtown Statesboro Merchants.

Scare on the Square will make the courthouse area a crossroads for Halloween fun, including a hayride, costume contests for all ages, trunk-or-treating, a haunted house and the annual pumpkin patch interactive activities, from 4:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday. Zaxby’s is the lead sponsor for the event. But there are several other sponsors, and the participation of Georgia Southern University student volunteers helps make the event a success, according to a press release from the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority.
