Downtown Plymouth Gears Up for Pumpkin Palooza

Games, candy, Halloween scares to greet downtown visitors on Sunday.

About 1,000 zombies, monsters, clowns and princesses are expected to descend upon downtown Plymouth on Sunday to feast on candy provided by local businesses.

The sweet-toothed visitors, of course, are costumed families that Teri Fry from the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce expects downtown between noon and 3 p.m. Sunday for the second year of Pumpkin Palooza. 

Show off your Halloween costume for a chance to win $5,000 from Patch!

The event features games, candy, entertainment and costume contests for both children and pets, Fry said.

The event, aimed at providing families a safe place to trick-or-treat at local businesses, premiered last year and was an immediate success, Fry said.

"We had great turnout last year," Fry said. She said she expects crowds to grow as the event enters its second year, projecting about 1,000 children trick-or-treating downtown Sunday.

Yru, That is an astute observation. Stated differently, the number of potential buyers (demand) isRead More decreased, which in turn decreases the property values and taxable values that the city's revenue is largely based on. For further information on this including economists' studies on the subject, impact on real estate and appraisals, and economic development please consider spending a few minutes at the Plymouth Quiet Zones website, which you can access via the petition.

Purchase a home within the distance in which the train horn can be heard? You mean in Plymouth? IRead More live many blocks from the train and still find the noise disturbing. Noise pollution is something that effects everyone in the community. Some noise is unavoidable, however this is one instance where it is entirely avoidable. The auto industry spends millions to make cars and trucks run quieter and then we have trains with ear-piercing horns in the middle of the night. Doesn't make sense to me.

Even if there was a no horn time between 11pm to 5 am would be a great improvement. I'm all aboutRead More safety, but honestly..have would seen plymouth streets between those hours? Besides, the cross bars are still down and the safety bells still ring when trains are in the vicinity.i would love to attend a community meeting regarding this.
