Pine Rock Park volunteers in Shelton to host annual Halloween party
The fire company has been hosting this event for more than years. It started with a way to keep the children of the Pine Rock Park area safe because of the narrow dirt roads of the park. It grew to a way to keep kids safe on Halloween throughout the city.
The goal is a safe environment for the kids to collect candy and games are played for kids to earn the candy.
Snacks are provided. Firefighters inspect the candies they distribute to check for open packages or tampered bags.
