Scare on the Square
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Scare on the Square Canceled ⚠️
Due to a growing threat of severe storms and lightning expected this evening, Scare on the Square has been canceled. Although this event is held rain or shine, the increasing risk of severe weather has made it necessary to cancel in order to protect the safety of our community. Community members are instead invited to visit the Traphene Hickman Library at 450 Pioneer Trail in Cedar Hill next week to pick up candy. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their Halloween costumes. Thank you for understanding as we put safety first.
