Join The Halloween Candy Donation Drive In Bar Harbor

This goes under the category of "It Takes a Village", and it certainly does to make Halloween memorable for Bar Harbor's and the Island's children! Ledgelawn Avenue in Bar Harbor is where many children not only in Bar Harbor, but on the Island go trick-or-treating. It really is Halloween Central! Children carpool in and it can overwhelm residents, who hand out candy to all the kids. That's where you can help!For many years, and again this year, the Bar Harbor Hannaford has set up a donation box for bags of candy that will be given to Ledgelawn Avenue residents to hand out on Halloween. You can purchase bag(s) of candy and just put it in the box as you leave the store. The bag is located next to the customer service desk by the lottery machine.

Candy is being collected through Wednesday, October 29th. If you are a Ledgelawn Avenue resident and want to participate in handing out candy, and want some of the donated candy, please let Marie Curcio Yarborough know. You can contact her through Facebook, or leave a message in the comments as she's been tagged in the post. Note or you received candy last year, you are on this year's list again!

Delivery to residents will be on Thursday, October 30th!

If you are planning on trick-or-treating on Ledgelawn on Halloween, please be aware that the Bar Harbor Police Department will close the road to vehicular traffic from around 3:30 to 8:30 because of all the children! And remember the last day that you have to pay the parking kiosks is on October 30th!

Happy Halloween!
