SUMMIT - Scenes from Trunk or Treat in Summit

Nice to see the bunch of pumpkins for some Autumn season spirit at the end of Davis Rd.

There was definitely frost on the pumpkin Monday morning when it was below 30 degrees.

Well, after seeing the advertisement for Arby’s new Steak Nuggets a gazillion times I tried them. They were pretty good but rather pricey of course.

Charlotteville Fire Department Halloween Party on October 25 had about 50 in attendance. Contest winners were: Age group infant to 4 years old, Original costume Carly VanValkenburgh as Minnie Mouse, Cutest Carlyon Roe as a cow, Best Character Tyler Mitchell Jr. as Orange Dinosaur. Age 5-11 years  Best Character Jeremiah Donnelly as Creeper from Minecraft, Scariest Emria Lucas as Bloody girl. All ages, Nicholas Fancher as Spiderman, Colton Donnelly as Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon and Layla Clark as a Fairy. The children also enjoyed fire truck rides, games and refreshments.

About 25 children and their families enjoyed the Summit Rescue Squad and Fire Department Trunk or Treat October 26. Six people decorated their cars and offered treats. Also in the parking lot there was a make believe plywood flame the kids could hose down.  Inside the Summit Firehouse there were crafts and refreshments.  

Went out to Kilts Farm in Palatine, NY to check out a possible site for a history conference in May. It is quite an interesting complex about 45 minutes drive from Summit, https://www.kiltsfarm.org .  On the way there I went by the Dummy Light in Canajoharie that I always think is neat to see.
