Gainesville Residents Brace for a Thrifty Halloween

With October 31st fast approaching, residents are reconsidering how they celebrate. The desire to save money is prevalent, leading many to seek creative alternatives for costumes, decorations, and festivities. This year could showcase a shift in how Gainesville engages with Halloween traditions, emphasizing fun without the financial strain.
