This year’s Andover Downtown Trick or Treat did not disappoint.  The weather was picture perfect and so were the costumes.  Hundreds of children ventured down Main Street where they were welcomed by community establishments offering greetings and sweet treats.  The annual event coordinated by the town and local businesses is a fun opportunity for families to visit downtown stores and restaurants and to showcase the scarecrow creations displayed on lampposts throughout the street.
