Trick or Treat
If you’re looking for a place to head out Trick or Treating with the kids tonight, those in the know say the area near Harrisville Dam, where the homes are well-decorated and close together, is always a winner in town. For the past several years, one resident even took up a collection to help those passing out candy in the area.
Wherever you go tonight, stay safe Burrillville, and view a list of Halloween safety tips from the Rhode Island Department of Health here.
