Last year Downtown Gallatin launched this event to bring people there to shop their retail business and view the display of skeletons that were displayed in their windows.  The event exploded with over 30 skeletons dressed in their finest and on display in the windows.

The figures get changed out weekly and can often be seen playing the drums in our music store, riding a bike in the coffee shop or mowing the grass outside our pawn shop.

A fun event that was featured on WSMV Channel 4 during it's inaugural year!

Family friendly, but best enjoyed by ages 8 and up, they guarantee an informative and 'spirited' tour.

Many of their patrons return again and again....there's always a new story to tell, and this year we are celebrating their soon to be released nationally published book, Historic Haunted Sumner County.

Get on their email/text list for Dead of Winter pub/restaurant crawls to be held select dates in January-March 2022, as well as lectures on history, haunts and the mysterious in Tennessee...including True Crime stories.

Newton Nissan prides themselves on their involvement in the community. It is very important to them to know their customers and their families as more than numbers or sales, but as neighbors, friends, and family. For this reason, they have many different events to do this, including Spirit Nights, a Nissan Factory tour, and their car giveaway for high school students. But by far, the most fun event they love to host for the community is their annual Trunk or Treat!

Each year, they shut down their dealership and host thousands from the community for fun, games, food, and, of course, candy! It is always a fun time for kids and adults alike to enjoy celebrating together. Cars, as well as children and adults, are dressed up in fun costumes, and a good evening is always had by all.

For 2021, this will be a drive-thru event hosted at Vol State instead of the dealership again! They're improving their process and will be providing more candy and entertainment while your kids wait!
