Fourth-graders in Girl Scout Troop 2032, along with Manitou School students, created decorations that will adorn the neighborhood.
Spookytown was founded in 2016 by a group of residents led by musician Dar Williams to provide an alternative to young children who might be frightened of the sights and sounds of Parrott Street.
