Whether or not you believe the stories about ancient scrolls and witches under the pond, there's no doubt that thousands of children and their parents were spellbound by the extraordinary happenings in Broomfield Park on Saturday night.
There were no tricks at this Halloween event. Visitors of all ages were treated to imaginative storytelling, open air theatre, puppet shows, strange costumes, eery illuminations, glowing pumpkins and spooky bottles, all culminating at 7pm in the Scream itself.
Congratulations to Karl, David and a hundred or so more individuals and business sponsors for creating this amazing community event. Not to forget the Book of Spooky Stories and the story writing competition that helped local kids develop their imaginations and literary talents.
