Pittsfield Halloween Parade, Trick-Or-Treat, Road Closure Information…

I cannot tell you how awesome it was to see the happiness on the kids' faces on Friday during the "It's Alive" event on the lawn of St. Joes. The turnout was amazing and the weather didn't disappoint.

Halloween is on the way and so are more events!

Marjo will be live at Carr Hardware for "Trunk or Treat" on Thursday, and on Friday, it's the return of the Pittsfield Halloween Parade!
