“Community first is a big part of our practice and philosophy,” said Dr. Chad Kelly of the participation by TC Orthodontics in the Fall Festival. The business is a new on Main Street. In addition to sponsoring the pumpkin giveaway, they have also donated one of the large prizes for the costume contest and will have a table located in the plaza. “We like giving back, being part of the community – we get back just as much as we give. “

Claddagh Irish Pub has participated in the event in previous years and will once again be a trick or treat stop for children. The pub’s involvement, according to assistant general manager Elaine Monaghan, is their way of “giving back” to the community. She says parents can enjoy a complimentary hot cider when stopping by during trick or treating.
The yearly Fall Festival on Main Street is hosted by members of the Arbor Lakes Business Association. For the 2012 event, Maple Grove Eye Clinic and Opticians, TC Orthodontics and Step by Step Montessori are providing the pumpkins.
