Letter to the editor: Thankful for the community spirit that runs strong in Cornwall

The Cornwall Trunk or Treat had a great sophomore year this year. The weather mostly cooperated, it felt like a smoother parking to event transition, and it felt bigger this year

Among the ghosts, goblins and spooky characters that filled the town’s streets on Halloween, around a dozen glowing jellyfish lit up the dark, chilly night with a colorful display. 

American Legion Post 14 in Vergennes will host a Trunk or Treat event for kids this coming Sunday. This free activity will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. in the post parking lot at 100 Armory Lane.

Get into the Halloween spirit by celebrating the work that 16 teams at Porter Medical Center put into their second annual scarecrow contest.

The weather was great, the trunks all looked great, and everyone enjoyed the town highway and fire trucks.

The Sheldon Museum in Middlebury will host Spooky Night at the Museum, an evening of pre-Halloween entertainment, on Friday, Oct. 28, from 5-7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
