‘Halloween, South Carolina’: Conway undergoing spooky makeover for October

CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) - The City of Conway will look a little different when the calendar turns to October.

Mayor Barbara Blain-Bellamy and other officials announced Friday that Conway will be known as “Halloween, South Carolina” beginning October 1.

The city’s preparations for the spooky season were already underway earlier this week, as pumpkin baskets were seen on several trees along with other decorations.
