Walk Through a Smoke House; Take a Ride in a Bucket Truck; Decorate Pumpkins; Ride the Trolley

Danvers annual Open House will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8.

“Open House is an opportunity for residents to get a behind the scenes look at what goes on in their municipal offices,” said Danvers Town Manager Steve Bartha. “Please join us for what is sure to be an educational and fun-filled evening. Best of all, it’s free!”

Transportation to the fire and police stations, public library, Town Hall, Electric Division and new this year, Endicott Park, will be provided by the Salem Trolley. Parking is limited at all sites - please use the municipal parking area across from Town Hall or leave your car at Endicott Park.

Here are some of the activites that will be offered at each location during Open House:

• Fire Station: Fire safety is the theme. You can walk through a “Smoke House” and enjoy some pizza. See the Jaws of Life in action!
• The Electric Division: Check out the Electric Village and utility test truck. Go for a ride in the bucket truck and decorate a cookie.
• Endicott Park: Visit the animals at the barnyard, decorate pumpkins in the visitor’s center, search the straw stack for hidden treasures and play games with Danvers Recreation.
• Town Hall: Town Hall’s Toomey Room will be the place to go for snacks, raffles and information. To stay up to date on Town happenings, sign up to “like” our Danvers DPW page on Facebook or “follow” us on Twitter.
• Library: Kids can make their own spin art and Halloween craft and have a Hoodsie.
• Police Station: They’re all about dogs - hot dogs to eat and a K-9 demonstration at 5:30 PM. Check out all their vehicles.
