Our Staff may be exhausted, there may be tons of stuff yet to store away, and there’s still a lot to do, but our 2nd Annual Stratford Halloween Festival was a great success. Despite some wet conditions on Saturday the festival was quite well attended both days of the weekend. People braved the rain on Saturday to take part in the “Legends & Lore” tour (formerlly the Ghost Tour) and Sunday turned out to be a perfect day for a stroll though the historical downtown area. The feedback has been great, and many people boasted about learning much from our tours. This year there was a little more historical knowledge tossed in to the tour, and we expanded on some of the content from last year’s tours. As for ghosts… maybe they were out this weekend too. Several tour attendees returned with photographs which seemed to show some strange activity. Of course, we won’t know for sure until we examine all the photos closer with our graphics programs, but some of the pictures looked quite interesting. And now it’s onto the big holiday we all love… H A L L O W E E N ! ! ! We have a TON of events going on in November so everyone has a lot to look forward to. We hope to see you at some of them!

On Wednesday morning we experienced a hacking into our website which caused technical difficulties to the main site. We’re in the process of fixing the issues, but in the meantime we have decided to put up a simple version of our site so that visitors can still participate in the most popular sections. Please stay tuned for more information.
