The story
Demorest's Downtown Development Authority discussed plans for the city's Halloween event, set for October 31 from 5 to 8 PM, including participation from the Piedmont Art Club and Police and Fire staff serving hot dogs. Members noted that last year's event served about 700 people and cost roughly $1,000 from the General Fund.
The DDA then voted unanimously to donate $400 in DDA funds toward the event's food costs, covering hot dogs, chips and beverages.
