Clarksburg Sets Halloween Hours; Buildings to Reopen in November

Halloween will be celebrated in Clarksburg this Oct. 31.

The Select Board set the hours for 5:30 to 7 p.m. and are recommending the "GHOST" protocol outlined by North Adams two weeks ago for the city's observances.

"It can be smart, people have lights on if they want to participate, if they don't then they are not participating," said Chairman Ronald Boucher

Boucher said he had been approached by Fire Chief Carlyle "Chip" Chesbro Jr. about what the town was planning. Chesbro had offered to have the Fire Department do something, perhaps deliver candy to children.
