Tuesday 31st October, 6pm - 8pm Following the great success of the last eight years we are once again organising for our children to be able to safely celebrate Halloween by trick or treating in the Ashburnham Triangle. Participation is of course absolutely voluntary. If you are interested, on Halloween night please place the image above on 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. Or of course a jack-o-lantern would be even better! For safety and hygiene may we kindly request that you please only give out wrapped or packaged sweets. Happy Halloween! posted by Tara MacNeil Veitch on the ATA Facebook page
