The Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity (SHOP) presented its annual Halloween Walk on Saturday, October 22, as autumn leaves cascaded down from the trees and the sunlight warmed the air.

Businesses along the sidewalks of Washington Avenue, Church Hill Road, Glen Road, and Riverside Road participated in the event.
