Sunbury residents, businesses and groups are invited to participate in the upcoming halloween community hunt this spooky season.
Silver Service Real Estate agent representative Alister McDonald is organising the hunt, which will include a bewitching lineup of activities for all ages.
Mr McDonald said he started selling homes in Sunbury about a month ago, and wants to get involved with the community.
“I grew up in Melbourne and was always involved in the community… so my partner and I had the idea to do a halloween hunt in Sunbury.
“I want to get to know people, primarily it’s about partnering with businesses and promoting them [to] build that business community relationship, and to bring the community together.”
The hunt will include a ‘riddle me this’ competition where nominated businesses have a hidden pumpkin bowl with a list of riddles to solve.
There will be a competition to ‘design the coolest haunted house,’ where residents will post a picture to the private page or hand it in to one of the nominated local businesses.
For all the Sunbury writers, there will be a ‘best haunted house story or poem’ competition, where residents will post them to the private page or hand in to a local business.
Prizes will be on offer for the winners and each business will have a little treat for residents to collect.
Mr McDonald, who dressed up as King from Atlantis at his last dress up party, said he is still finalising the businesses and encouraged more to get involved.
“My outfit [for halloween] is still being prepared but I’ll be dressing up,” he said.
“The reception [to the hunt] has been brilliant. I’ve been walking into business and encouraged anyone else interested to reach out.”
