Halloween Spirit Thrives in Schwenksville

Water might melt the Wicked Witch of the West, but these potential paraders were hanging tough despite the rain.

The Halloween season in Perkiomen Valley, like many communities, is dotted with parades. Young -- or just young at heart -- residents have opportunities to don their costumes well before it's time to ring the first doorbell for trick-or-treating.

In other news, council to contact Zoning Hearing Board about concerns surrounding application.
