Trick-or-Treat to Benefit Furry Friends this Halloween

Ryk Bullock and the folks at Bedford Positively are seeking support for the Animal Rescue League (ARL-NH) of New Hampshire through an annual Halloween Fundraiser.

The 2010 event raised nearly $5,500 and Bullock and friends are hoping to surpass that mark in 2012 after missing last year due to the Snowtober storm.

A headcount will be tabulated of all children (and those who are young at heart) who arrive at Bullock's Meetinghouse Road home and business to trick-or-treat from 5-7 p.m. this Halloween, and community members and local businesses are encouraged to commit to a set amount to donate per child (i.e. if you commit to one dollar per trick-or-treater and 96 attend, you'll owe $96).

Following the event, you'll be asked to send a check for the amount pledged to the Bullock Agency, which will compile the donations to deliver to the ARL.

The "magical" evening will include inflatable air-motion decorations and will take place at Bullock's house at the corner of Meetinghouse Road and Route 101.

Bullock says not one cent of the funds raised is used to defray expenses. All expenses are covered through the generosity of The Bullock Agency.

Organizers hope they are able to continue this event annually; provided Bedford doesn’t see another Snowtober.
