GRAFTON – Scarecrows and pumpkins joined in the fun at the annual Fall Fest sponsored by the Recreation Department on Sunday, Oct. 20, on the Common.
Families took advantage of ideal fall conditions to build a scarecrow, paint a pumpkin, have their faces painted, and play in a Gaga ball pit.
The Fire Department was also on hand to distribute safety information.
Many of the scarecrows have been put on display around the Common. The Recreation Department has posted photos for online voting.
Other Halloween events in town include a “Friendly Trick or Treat” at the Municipal Center, sponsored by the town, on Wednesday, Oct. 30, from 3 to 4 p.m. The event is for children age 5 years and younger. Costumes are encouraged; all are welcome.
Participants may pick up a bag and map at the front door tent, then make their way around the offices.
