HALLOWEEN IN DRAKEWICK
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Drakewick this Halloween. If your children are planning to trick-or-treat in Drakewick, the hours will be from 5-8pm on Friday, October 31. Kids should only approach houses that have their porch lights on, as this signals that the homeowner is distributing candy at his/her door or driveway. Note that there will only be parking on one side of Walsingham Rd. and Devonshire Lane. The police and fire departments will be present, similar to previous years.
Please also consider making a donation to our Annual Halloween Food Drive, benefitting the Interfaith Food Panty, while you are visiting. There will be a DPW trailer parked at the corner of Walsingham Road and Trimingham Court (by the pond) for the collection of donations from Friday, October 31 through Sunday, November 2.
If you would like to make a donation, the most needed items are listed below. Thank you for participating!
