The day will kick-off at 11a.m. at either end of the downtown with free sugar cookie decorating at Beverly’s Pastry, 322 E High St (11a.m. – 1 p.m), Manatawny Green, 71 W High St, for scarecrow stuffing and snacks (11 a.m. through business hours while supplies last), and Pottsgrove Manor, 100 W King St, for tours and colonial crafts (11 a.m. – 3 p.m.)
Participating candy/craft stops on High Street between Evans Street and York Street will be marked between 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. (or until store close in a few cases) from Rite Aid, 340 E. High St to Potts & Penn Diner, 80 E High St.
