Letter: Townie Association Halloween Bash a Success

The Townie Association hosted their first annual Halloween Bash fundraiser at the Somerville City Club on Friday, Oct. 19. Arriving in costumes, guests enjoyed a spooktacular evening. There were scrumptious treats, scary tricks, and magical decorations. Putting a spell on everyone, DJ Dennis Taylor generously provided the music. Costume contest winners were as follows:

• Best costume: Jenn Scadding
• Scariest costume: Paul Hickey
• Sexiest costume: Leeanne Lakeman
• Most Original costume: Jason MacDonald
• Funniest costume: Dylan Zimmerle

It was amazing to see so much kindness and from the community—both the residents and business. We are grateful to be part of such a supportive neighborhood. The Halloween Bash was truly a success. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Bunker Hill Day Parade.
