This year was bigger and better and was well received by the children and their families. There were lots of spooky interactive games for children of all ages to engage with and the opportunity to earn a trick or treat. No child went away empty handed. Other games included 'bush tucker trial' traditional apple bobbing, hook a duckula, wack a rat, spiders hoopla and pumpkin toss. There was also face painting and an "old sparky" photo point. The weather was kind to us yet again, allowing us to deliver yet another fantastic event of smoke, UV & strobe light effects along side some spooky props. A big thank you to the following, without their support events like this wouldn't happen: Plowright Place businesses, <strong>Swaffham</strong> Town Council, Tesco, Combat Airsoft, <strong>Swaffham</strong> Raceway and the group of <strong>Swaffham</strong> residents who gave up their time to help. <strong>Swaffham</strong> Library News The Pightle, <strong>Swaffham</strong> PE37 7DF.
