HOLLEY – Kids wore costumes this morning in a parade around the Public Square for candy. It was the kickoff of today’s Fall “Hallow” Fest in the village.

There are activities throughout the day. There are many vendors at the canal park as well as games – balloon darts, football toss, apple launcher and ring toss.

The library will host games and stories from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be music by Don Newcomb from noon to 2 p.m.

Ray Santoro will sign copies of his book, “Haunted Holley,” from noon to 3 p.m.

There will also be hot chocolate and other goodies throughout the day. St. Mary’s Catholic Church will host a trunk or treat beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event is capped by “spooky stories” at 8:30 p.m. at the old village office in the Public Square.
