Forecast Disrupts Schedule of Weekend Halloween Activities

The borough of Narberth, which went to some trouble to celebrate  when this month began, is sending October packing with a host of weekend Halloween activities. And the forecast of snow and rain is pushing one of those activities back a day. 

The Narberth Business Association has details:

On Saturday:

• From 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at  is a puppet show for kids, "The Candy Witch". Tickets are $3 a person, $5 a family, and proceeds benefit the .
• Anyone entering in costume after 6 p.m. gets a free drink and a chance to win dinner for two.

On Sunday:

• Starting at noon, McShea's will have pumpkins that visitors can carve for free, for their display in Sunday night's Halloween costume parade.
• (Postponed from Saturday) "The Witches of Narberth" is a free scavenger hunt for all ages. At 1 p.m. at Haverford and Forrest avenues, the hunt begins for 13 witches (and plenty of treats) hidden throughout downtown Narberth. It goes until 4 p.m. or until the prizes are gone. (Successful older kids get Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty; the younger set is eligible for plush ghosts. Both are pictured here.)
• The parade begins at the parking lot at 6:15 p.m.; participants should meet there by 6 p.m. The parade heads down Narberth Avenue and along Haverford Avenue to end up at . All children get treats at the end.
