Halloween Move Backfires on Town Calendar
Town manager Louis C Sarelas faced sharp criticism after announcing Halloween would shift to October 30. He cited child safety and requested all children 16 and under be home by 9 45 pm. Residents on Main Street resisted, citing conflicts with a Vermont Symphony Orchestra concert and plans to trick or treat both nights. Sarelas rescinded the change, restoring Halloween to Sunday October 31, though public reaction suggested the date would have stayed same regardless.
