Sandy Hook Halloween Walk

Word is spreading like trick-or-treaters at sundown on Halloween that a special event is being planned for the Saturday before Halloween in Sandy Hook Center.

On October 29, from 10 am to 2 pm, costumed children will be welcomed to trick-or-treat at businesses and take part in a pumpkin carving contest at Stone River Grille, 1 Glen Road. The inaugural Sandy Hook Halloween Walk was thought up and is being shepherded by Stone River Grille owner Gary Seri.

Mr Seri says he has thought about starting a trick-or-treat event in Sandy Hook for years, and now, since taking ownership of his restaurant this past July, everything fell into place, like candy in a bag.

Mr Seri has high hopes the event will become an annual one, with 200 to 300 children and their families eventually visiting the area.

Stone River Grille will provide pregutted pumpkins for carvers to participate in the contest, and Mr Seri says any interested volunteers, especially those who can provide extra entertainment for the event, are welcome to contact him at 203-270-1200.
