5 Things: Never Fear, October is Here

1. Get out this month! Olde Towne Day is less than two weeks away; the Craftworkers' Guild is open through Oct. 8 with some great seasonal items; and Trick-or-Treating takes place, appropriately, on Oct. 31.

2. Grab your broom sticks! The popular third-annual Witch Way to the 5K run/walk takes place on on Saturday, Oct, 27. Participants are encouraged to dress up for the run, and the course, which begins at Ross A Lurgio School, will challenge runners and walkers alike.  The race is professionally timed and awards will be presented to the top finishers in each age group, the three best costumes, and some special awards. The proceeds from this race will go to support technology at the Ross A. Lurgio Middle School. The Kids Fun Run starts at 10:30 am and the 5K Run/Walk starts at 11:00 am.

3. The weatherman says ... The month begins with a partly cloudy day, with some strong winds and a 20-percent chance of rain.

4. The municipal month begins ... with a planning board meeting tonight at 7 at the BCTV Bedford Town Meeting Room.

5. And, spookiest of all ... this entire month we'll be amping up heading into the big General Election on Nov. 6, and today we posted a guide to everything you need to know as you prepare to head to the polls. Check it out here.
