Halloween is coming!

As always, town residents are welcome to don their costumes and come to Main Street on Halloween, Oct. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m., for trick-or-treating! Don't miss this, the most spooktacular of the town's annual events.

Also as always, candy is being collected to help out the houses along Main Street deal with the hundreds of visitors they get on Halloween. Drop your donations off in boxes at the library, general store and Village School. The Recreation Department will be distributing the candy Sunday, October 23, from 2 to 4.
