It's the most wonderful time of the year - and no, we aren't talking about winter. Fall is right around the corner which means it is almost spooky season.

Halloween will be here before you know it, and maybe you've already started brainstorming ideas for what you will be dressing up as? There's so many possibilities.

Spirit Halloween, around this time of year, typically opens on Horatio Street in Utica and inside Sangertown Square Mall in New Hartford. While one of these locations remains, another will be moving and one will be opening a new store in Rome!

According to Spirit Halloween, they will have the following locations in the Mohawk Valley:

Reopening at 710 Horatio Street in Utica, inside Riverside Center
New store at 4631 Commercial Drive in New Hartford, the former Chuckie Cheese
New store at 217 Erie Boulevard West in Rome, the former JCPenney

How exciting is that? It will make it more convenient for so many people who are taking part in the holiday, whether it be for decorations or costumes.
