Over 1,000 people streamed through the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium at 72 Bank Street on Halloween night 2006 to enjoy a family -friendly fun night put together by the staff of Community Recreation. Children were invited to participate in a variety of games, enter a costume contest, walk through a ghost-walk and enjoy a piece of pizza donated by Dominos, all free of charge. The event is held every year as a safer alternative to children going door-to-door and to enjoy the holiday with their parents and other children. For more information, about CD-REC activities, go to their web site or call 508-679-0522 or contact Program Director Grace Gerling.
