Spirits such as William Preston, the Black Sisters, George Robinson and others will make spectral appearances and share some to the history of our area.
Donations are encouraged for each activity. And Chocolate Spike will be here selling caramel apples and other goodies too.
Gates open at 5:30 pm.
All pumpkin carvers: Please stop by Smithfield before this event to purchase your pumpkin so you can take it home to carve. Then return it the night before (Oct. 26) for judging. Watch our Home page for the exact time and date to pick up your pumpkin.
Update (9/22/2011): Pumpkins and/or gourds are now available to be picked up from Smithfield anytime during normal business hours. Donations are requested. After you have carved or decorated them at home, remember to return the pumpkins on October 26 to participate in the contest.
