Press release:

Attention all ghosts and goblins! Sandy Hook Village invites trick-or-treaters to the Fourth Annual Sandy Hook Village Halloween Walk onOctober 25th from 11am to 2pm.

This fun trick-or-treat is hosted by Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity, better known as SHOP.

Local children are invited to attend with parent or other adult, in their best, scariest, funniest, and creative Halloween outfits. The Sandy Hook business district offers a safe environment for students to trick or treat during the daylight hours. Decorations will be up and the businesses will be ready for the little pirates and princesses to pay them a visit!

Organizer Sharon Doherty of PJ’s Laundromat, said that last year’s Halloween Walk had the largest turnout yet and she is excited to welcome old and new visitors back again this year. “It’s for the little kids and that’s what it is all about. The little kids having a good time,” said Ms Doherty.

“The Halloween Walk has been a very special local community event that attracts many families with young kids. It’s a safe alternative to trick or treating because it’s such a pedestrian friendly neighborhood.” noted Ms. Doherty.
