Halloween in Meeker Colorado

We have been very busy here at the Meeker Hotel and Cafe! Time just flies by while we meet new people and learn new things. And this little town does so many fun activities, there is always something going on it seems.

Fall is my favorite season and Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. The Saturday before before Halloween, I awoke to the sound of a bob cat tractor on main street. The Chamber and the local furniture store set up a pumpkin patch in the courthouse yard for kids 5th grade and under to come get free pumpkins.


On Halloween itself, the local parks and recreation group host Eats an Treats where all the kids come to trick or treat to the businesses in town and they have a chili feed for them. The kids line up at the elementary school for costume judging and then they make a parade down main street before collecting their goodies. This year the Meeker Hotel and Cafe handed out a piece of candy attached to a coupon for a free corn dog from the Cafe. It was a bit of a nostalgic thing for me as when I was a little girl, we would always get a coupon for a corn dog or small hamburger from Meister's Bar and Grill... and then I worked there for many years in my twenty-something years. It kinda neat to pass on some fun memories. (shout out to Bob and M.M.)We decorated the hotel lobby for Halloween and most of the staff dressed up as well.
