How much candy should you buy? Last Halloween was a beautiful, warm sunny day and there were lots of kids. Businesses last year gave away around 500-800 or more pieces of candy.
This event is being coordinated by the Somerville District Management Corporation and the Somerville Business and Professional Association with the support of the downtown Somerville businesses. | |
