Children of all ages are invited to the Annual Community Spooky Walk and Halloween Party hosted by the Village Green Preschool. This event, which is open to families in Sterling and the surrounding communities, will be held on Monday, October 29, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. (rain or shine). Plan to arrive in costume and bring a bag for trick-or-treating along the parade route. The parade will begin promptly at 5 p.m. at the gazebo behind the Sterling fire station and will proceed down Main Street to First Church, where the Halloween party will be held. The party will include interactive games and crafts, including the “magic mirror,” pizza, snacks, and baked goods. Parents are required to stay for the entire event. Tickets are $5 per person. Children under 1 year free. Proceeds go to the preschool’s playground maintenance fund.

Tickets, which are limited, can be purchased beginning Saturday, October 13 at Appletown Market, 9 Main St., Sterling, and at the Village Green Preschool office, located in First Church in Sterling, 6 Meetinghouse Hill Road, Sterling.
