SPENCER, Ind. (Oct. 22, 2026) – The community is invited to join the fun at Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center for its annual “Trick-or-Treat” celebration on Friday, October 23, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in the parking lot of the skilled nursing facility at 920 West Highway 46, in Spencer, Ind.

The event will be held rain or shine.

Halloween festivities will feature Owen Valley staff who will distribute candy to trick-or-treaters. Visiting guests can also enjoy complimentary snacks, including cider, popcorn, and chips, throughout the event.

Children and their families are invited to participate in the Halloween spirit by dressing in their favorite costumes while enjoying the spooky, family friendly fun. The facility’s staff will also be in costume.

“We enjoy celebrating the fall season with our residents and neighbors each year,” said Edward Hughes, executive director of Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center. “Special events such as this allow us to strengthen community ties while creating lasting memories for our residents and neighbors.”

Everyone is encouraged to bring a bag, pillow case, or pumpkin basket to collect treats from decorated cars. “This event is always well-received by the community, and our staff enjoys dressing up in their favorite costumes,” said Hughes. “This is one of the many events we hold throughout the year to stay connected with our neighbors. From a holiday light display and spring visits with the Easter Bunny to clothing drives, school supply collections, and other community activities, we’re delighted to create opportunities for families to come together and build stronger connections.

Staff members and residents will gather in the Owen Valley front lobby with their creatively decorated costumes, where children can go down the hall, collecting Halloween candy. The skilled nursing facility will provide free treats and snacks.
