Trick or Treat is Extra Sweet at Annual Amityville PBA ‘Ragamuffin Parade’

The Amityville PBA recently hosted its annual ‘Ragamuffin’ Parade where more than 200 boys and girls dressed as their favorite characters and paraded past hundreds of their neighbors. Established in the early 1960s by PBA member, Thomas H. Smith, the ‘Ragamuffin’ Parade remains an exciting annual community event.

The youngest participants in attendance were dressed as pumpkins while most children opted for superhero costumes as they paraded through the streets of Amityville.
