Here are scenes from trick-or-treating this year from the elaborately decorated Randall and Elm street neighborhood (where they even had a live band playing) to the Waterbury fire stations where firefighters handed out candy, hot dogs and glow necklaces, to Rusty Parker Park where Harwood Rotary Interact Club members had treats, games and Charlie Brown’s Great Pumpkin playing on a giant screen.
Along the way, Waterbury’s new Town Manager Graci Zeiger and family got into the spooky spirit, bringing a homemade photo backdrop for trick-or-treaters to pose for fun pictures at the Main Street fire station.
We figure by now, some are already thinking ahead to next year’s hauntings… 👻🎃💀👽🦇🧙🏻🍬🧟♂️🧛🏻♂️
