But before you head to the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds for that, take the kids to Downtown Davenport's Spooky Spectacular & Candy Crawl!

It's easy: put on a Halloween costume, pick up an event map at any participating business, and take a stroll through downtown, collecting treats, and checking out what businesses have going on!

The participating businesses are these:

• Abernathy's
