A Spooktacular Night with the Community 🎃

On the evening of Thursday, October 23, 2025, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office once again transformed the night into a festive celebration with its annual Spooktactical Night—a free, family-friendly event that continues to be a highlight of the fall season.

Hosted at the Sheriff’s Office, the event drew a huge crowd of families, children, and community members, all coming together for a safe and spirited Halloween celebration. The evening featured interactive demonstrations from the K-9 Unit, SWAT Team, Mounted Patrol, and Special Response Team, along with face painting, themed vehicle displays, and candy galore.

The Manatee Hundred Club was proud to attend and support the event by hosting a booth, where several of our members handed out candy and small toys to excited trick-or-treaters. The creativity on display—from both costumes and community spirit—made it a truly special night.

We were especially grateful to our Past President and current Vice President, Bob Nolan, who spearheaded our participation this year. Thanks to Bob’s leadership, coordination, and generous donations from our members, we were able to purchase and distribute a large assortment of treats and toys to children throughout the evening. His energy and commitment helped make our booth one of the highlights of the night.

Thank you to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office for organizing another incredible community event, and to all of the officers, volunteers, and agencies who made it a fun and safe night for all.

We look forward to being back next year for more Halloween fun!
