Halloween is just around the corner, and it's time to get spooky! Growing up, this time of year was one of my favorites. I loved trick-or-treating with my friends, seeing all the scary decorations, and attending my mom's annual "Witches' Brew" party. I may be an adult now, but I still love the holiday!
If you love Halloween, too, there's plenty to do around the Biddeford-Saco area this week! Lean into the spooky vibes at a haunted mirror workshop, or go trunk-or-treating with friends and family!
In this week's newsletter: Read about mobile home rent increases in Saco, the candidates running for Biddeford City Council, and a lawsuit settlement between the city of Biddeford and former city manager.
As always, feel free to email me with story ideas and photos!
Thanks for reading, - Sydney Richelieu |
