Dexter Community Plans Halloween Events

Here is a look at some family-friendly activities this weekend.

Halloween is Monday, but if your children can't wait that long to get into costume, there are plenty of events and activities before the big night.

First, there's Patch's own . Submit a photo or video of your child (age 12 and younger) wearing his or her awesome or adorable Halloween costume, and you could win a three-day trip to Los Angeles or New York to meet supermodel Heidi Klum. You'll also win $1,031 for your favorite local charity. Enter before 9 p.m. Monday; I'll be choosing Dexter's representative for the national contest then.
