The “Party” at the Park Street lot will include fun for all. The School of Rock will serenade parade-goers with Halloween tunes such as the “Monster Mash,” “Werewolves of London” and “Ghostbusters” while Toddlertime Nursery School will host the Great Scirico, who will be creating balloon animals.
Start planning your costume now so you can enter into the “Best Dressed Family and Pet” contest sponsored by Venture Photography who has donated a Family Sitting Package to the first-place winner.
