Here’s a message to the kids. Wait, do any kids read The SandPaper? Perhaps not. Maybe someone can put a picture of my column on Snapchat.

Anyway, make note: Ship Bottom holds its Trunk or Treat at the Ship Bottom Boat Ramp on Friday, Oct. 25 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Surf City has its Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 26 at the firehouse from 5 to 7 p.m.
