GEORGETOWN, Ky. — The 11th annual Georgetown Thriller is coming back to downtown Georgetown and this time, it's giving back for good.

"Georgetown Parks and Rec tumbling study does Thriller because we decided that we wanted something very unique for our community and a way to give back to our community," said Artie Mullen Janow, director of Georgetown Parks and Rec. "So instead of 'Thriller' we decided to call it 'Thrilled to Give' because we wanted to give back to the Amen House to give back to the community, and to Amen house, to collect canned goods and cash or monetary donations to help with their program."   

A new Halloween tradition in many towns, participants are invited to come and learn the classic dance from Michael Jackson's 1982 hit "Thriller", and then perform it in public. This year's gathering will be on Oct. 22, with a rain date on Oct. 23 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in downtown Georgetown. Participants are encouraged to bring canned goods or donations to support the Amen House, an organization dedicating to ending hunger in Scott County. 

The event is designed for all ages. Learn more about the Amen House here.
