Halloween in the Ashburnham Triangle

Following the success of past years we are once again organising for our children to be able to safely celebrate Halloween by trick or treating in the Ashburnham Triangle on Thursday, October 31st between 5.30 and 7.30pm.
Participation is of course absolutely voluntary. We do hope that your children would like to join in to trick or treat and, whether you have children or not, that you would like to give out sweets. For safety and hygiene please only give out wrapped or packaged sweets.
If you are interested, on Halloween night please place a pumpkin or sign by your front door or window so that the children know at which houses to stop, and so that anyone not interested in participating is not inconvenienced.
