The Sand Bay Association held it’s first ever Halloween in summer on Saturday. The community had a great turnout at the baseball field for the night of Halloween-themed activities.

This year, the association had the idea of celebrating the holiday during summer when more residents are around so that everyone could make Halloween memories in Sand Bay. Many residents decorated their homes and dressed up in costume.

The evening began at 6 p.m. with children trick-or-treating. Event organizer Stacey Thomson also volunteered her yard for the committee to put on a haunted house.

More than 60 people attended the haunted house on Saturday as opposed to the usual 10 Thomson would normally receive in October.

There was also a movie screen set up at the baseball field that played Hotel Transylvania at 8:30 p.m. Residents brought chairs and blankets and there was even a free popcorn station during the movie.
