Downtown Trick or Treat!
Some highlights from our 2013 Downtown Trick-or-Treat hosted by the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to every business and organization who participated! Special thanks to Jason Webster and the Team at E- Clips Hair and Tanning for helping coordinate the event. Each business who participated probably spent over $75-$100 for candy. Pence ~ Reese Funeral Home donated much of the candy to our Senior Communities. Skiff had a big event as well. We are proud of our businesses who give so much back to the community. That is a big part of the mission of our Chamber.
