ADELPHI, Ohio — The village of Adelphi will hold trick-or-treat this year on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., according to a notice posted by the village.
Village officials are also inviting residents to the Adelphi Opera House during the trick-or-treat window. The historic building on Main Street will have a backdrop set up for photos, a public restroom available and popcorn for children, with costumes welcome.
The village is also asking homeowners who hand out candy but don’t typically get many trick-or-treaters at their door to instead bring their treats to the Opera House and hand them out there, helping concentrate the evening’s activity around the downtown building.
Adelphi, a village of about 320 residents in Ross County, was laid out in 1804 by two brothers and takes its name from the Greek word for “brothers.” It was incorporated as a village in 1838. The community is also known as the boyhood home of John Purdue, the Indiana businessman whose 1869 gift to the state of Indiana helped establish Purdue University.
The information contained in this story was obtained from the village of Adelphi.
