Twenty 'ghosts' fundraising for the Milne Library surround the Harsch Realty sign in Williamstown last week. 'What a fun way to help the library!' Joyce Harsch wrote us.
Williamstown Residents 'Haunted' for Halloween Event
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A gaggle of ghosts are haunting Harsch Realty and other sites around town.
The ghosting is part of a fundraiser for Haunted Williamstown, being held over the Halloween weekend (Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30-31) at the Milne Public Library. The event will offer a variety of activities for all ages, with a focus on the town's history.
The fundraiser is based on "flamingo flocking," in which homeowners pay to have the pink plastic birds appear — or disappear.
In this case, you can pay $50 to get 10 handmade ghosties to haunt you; for $100, 20 of the spooky apparitions will land on your lawn or a friend's — but only if the friend agrees!
Contact Milne Library Director Pat McLeod or Haunted Williamstown coordinator Juliana von Haubrich at the library at 413-458-5369 to find out more or to order up some ghosts.
