Keep - Since the topic passes WP:GNG, and also because the article has potential for a possible merge. As a comparison, if this was a Halloween block party in NYC that received significant coverage in local reliable sources, would NYC coverage be dismissed as local? At the very least, in lieu of deletion, information from this article could be merged to Athens, Ohio, which only has two sentences about this event. Also, the topic has received some national news coverage: [1], [2], [3], Northamerica1000^(talk) 03:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep plenty of independent coverage. You can expect to have local coverage for this sort of thing too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:30, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
