Trunk or Treat
was a treat!
POMFRET — The weather was beautiful Saturday night for Pomfret Recreations annual Rec or Treat at the Pomfret Recreation Park, according to Recreation Director Carrie Wolfe.
Kids had fun going trunk or treating on the soccer field. It was sponsored by the Pomfret Community School PTO. They also had a sugar lab set up for children to purchase test tubes or stars to fill with sugar creations.
She said the Recreation Department had the craft table set up on the soccer field. The concession stand located in the white barn was very busy with food and treats for people to purchase. Flames could be seen from far away from the bonfire that the Pomfret DPW set up and the Pomfret Fire Department started.
She added the tractor was constantly running with “hayrides that brought smiles to many faces.” There was a fire pit for roasting marshmellows and there was music. The night ended with an outdoor Halloween movie.
She said many volunteers agreed that this was one of the biggest turnouts. “We believe we had over 300 people throughout the event. This event has been growing each year. I am so appreciative of the businesses that donated to this great community event. I am extremely grateful to the volunteers of the night. Recreation Commission members, Jen Hudock and her son Blake (Woodstock Academy volunteer), Jennie Mix, her husband Eric and her son Deven (Killingly High School volunteer), and Alexandra Smith. Other volunteers that I’m so thankful for are: Stephen Chouonard (Pomfret Constable), Lance Sistare (hayride operator), and my husband, Bill Wolfe and son Joseph Wolfe.”
She added, “I was pleased to see so many smiling faces and hear so much laughter in the park! The costumes were so great! I want to thank everyone that came out to this great community event! I hope to see everyone at our future programs!”
