Funds raised will go toward the neighborhood’s Halloween celebration.
“They really celebrate Halloween in that neighborhood. They get pretty crowded,” the chamber spokeswoman said.
At least a dozen homes are expected to be on display including that of Barry Goldwater, a five-term United States Senator.

Grand Canyon Railway’s Pumpkin Patch Train
Just as Cinderella’s fairy godmother magically turned a pumpkin into a horse-drawn carriage, so will we transform our historic rail cars into Grand Canyon Railway’s Pumpkin Patch Train. And just like Cinderella, you’re encouraged to dress up for the great pumpkin event!
Kids and parents alike are invited to don their favorite Halloween costumes and come join us this fall for a fairy-tale ride through the countryside to a secret pumpkin patch, accessible only by train.

There will also be a free walk-through Haunted Train Car, a hay bale maze, and pumpkin arts and crafts at the Williams Depot until 5:00pm.
Trains depart Williams Depot at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00 both Saturday, October 17th and Sunday, October 18th.
