October 2023 Newsletter
A Word from the Director...

Spooky Season is here!! The Haunted House is in full swing. Our volunteers are amazing and have created another fabulous house for 2023. It's open Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00pm throughout the month of October. It's a must see!

Trick or Treat Around the Square is scheduled for Tuesday, October 31st from 4:00-5:00pm. For the safety of our children, we will be closing the square from 3:30 until 5:15. Letters have been sent to all merchants located on and just off the square. Any questions give me a call.

In the not-too-distant future is our annual Christmas Parade. This year's theme is "Parade of Trees" and will be held on December 2nd at 2:00pm. The registration form can be found here.

Be sure to send us your events so we can promote them on our Facebook page, in our windows or on our door and of course here in the monthly newsletter. We are here for you!

Have a great rest of October!
