Five Things: Main Street Trick Or Treat And Guitars

Halloween Parade and Trick or Treat: The parade of characters, spooks, ghosts, and goblins will show off their costumes as the group marches south down on Main Street.

Bring a bag to gather all your eggs. From 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. the Parks & Recreation Department will be sponsoring activities and refreshments at the Town Hall on Main Street. Grab a ride from the horse-drawn hay wagon from the rear of the municipal parking lot, along Marlborough Street.
