Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!
|
Ghosts and goblins are preparing to haunt Roselle this Saturday between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Halloween is a time for children. With this in mind, Roselle plans its trick or treat hours to accommodate all of them. This allows some daylight hours for the youngest cowboys and princesses and some time when it is a little darker for older witches and goblins. Please be careful while children are out enjoying this time.
