JASPER, Tenn. — Though Halloween falls on Sunday this year, the date will be celebrated on Saturday night throughout Marion County.
The city councils in Jasper, Kimball, and South Pittsburg, Tenn., each voted unanimously to move the celebration out of respect for Sunday night church services.
“I was approached by a minister wanting to move the observance of Halloween to Saturday night,” South Pittsburg Mayor Mike Killian said. “My wife informed me that has been done in the past, but I don’t really remember it. I certainly favor that, though.”
