Saying goodbye to the Candy Crawl – and hello to First Treat!

Three years ago, members of the Village Board created the Candy Crawl as a volunteer effort to give our children access to a trick-or-treat experience while many were unable to go house to house on Halloween.  Working with the generous cooperation of PUFSD School Board members, the Pleasantville Fire Department and the Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance Company, fire trucks and ambulances led volunteers to throw candy to kids in their yards in 2020, 2021 and 2022.  As we return to a ‘new normal,’ we are transitioning the Candy Crawl to integrate it with the Ragamuffin Parade and Festival, which will occur this year on Sunday, October 22nd,  with a rain date of October 29th starting at 12:30pm. 

 

We will accept donations of candy from villagers just inside the entrance to the Pleasantville Police Department on Bedford Road where a donation box will be located. At the end of the Ragamuffin Parade in Memorial Plaza, we will have a “FIRST TREAT” booth where ragamuffin marchers can come and get a first treat of the Halloween holiday.
