Trick-or-Treating Postponed, Rescheduled

Trick-or-Treating in both towns has been rescheduled to Saturday because of concern about down power lines.

Trick-or-Treating in Hamilton and Wenham has been cancelled for Halloween night on Wednesday and rescheduled to Saturday evening.

It instead will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 5-8 p.m.

The announcement was made by town officials at about 11 a.m. Town Manager Michael Lombardo said that National Grid had told him that the company could not assure him that all wires on the ground would not live by the start of Trick-or-Treating at 5 p.m. There are also several hundred homes without power and the lack of electricty would mean the possibility of kids walking into completely unlit neighborhoods.
