MILLBROOK — Approximately 80 children dressed in a wide array of costumes met at Washington Town Park on Saturday, Oct. 28, for a Halloween parade around the sports field, followed by Trunk or Treat on the lower level. 

Trophies were given out for costumes: Most Original was won by Gavin Wendover as Beetlejuice;  Cutest went to Guiletta LaBute as Little Red Riding Hood; and Jordan Eades won for Scariest, dressed as Michael Myers.    The judges were town assessor Lisa Evangelista, Loretta Koche, and Recreation Commission President Jason Zmudosky. 

Danielle Szalewicz, recreation director for the Town of Washington, was pleased with both the beautiful weather and the excellent turnout, and was grateful for all of  volunteer help.
