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.
