Letter: What about Little Caesar's?

John Walker writes:
Hello, I was wondering if you could ask on Columbia Magazine about the Little Caesar's pizza that was supposed to be coming to Columbia?

It was in the news several months back but haven't heard or seen anything about it lately.

John, we remember it being mentioned by the Mayor and will follow up. Meanwhile, we're posting your question in case some official at Little Caesar's wants to chime in! Thanks for writing.

Drive-Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza to continue in 2022

Update: Click here for a list of 26 locations in the Drive-Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza

By Shannon Sexton

The City of Columbia has announced that 2022 Trick or Treating will be held from 5pmCT to 7pmCT on Monday, October 31, 2022. The Adair Co. Drive-Thru Trick or Treat Extravaganza will also be repeated in 2022.

We began the drive-thru trick or treat during covid lockdowns, to provide children a safe way to trick or treat in a minimal contact, drive-thru fashion. The event received so much interest that we decided to keep it going even after the lockdowns were lifted. We are changing things up a bit this year to include door to door trick or treating locations as well.

Follow us on Facebook to submit your location or to find locations that will be handing out candy.
