Halloween 2012

On
November 1, 2012 local businesses in Callao decorated their storefronts and
opened their doors to support a visit from 22 trick-or-treaters from the
Northumberland YMCA. Although it was the day after Halloween, the children
dressed up, hopped on the YMCA bus and graciously accepted delicious treats from
Callao Supply, Callao Supermarket, Callao Car Center, Rappatomac Molding and
Millwork Co., Cralle Insurance, ABC Store, Stop In, EVB, Callao Fire Department
and RW’s Sport Shop.
In
addition, the Northumberland Chamber of Commerce received many creative entries
from children who used the pumpkin outline to create a Halloween scene.
Congratulations to our 2012 “Howling Halloween” Coloring Contest winners who
will receive a gift certificate from T&J’s Dairy.
