Annas, Elsas, and Spidermans, oh my! Kids of all ages clad in a variety of costumes converged on downtown Milton Oct. 29, for the town’s annual Wicked Weekend event. A fantasy trail, haunted walk, pumpkin painting and a terror train welcomed families at Memorial Park, while a magic show kept people entertained at Milton Theatre’s Quayside. Milton Historical Society showed monster movies at the Lydia B. Cannon Museum. 

Hosted by Milton Chamber of Commerce, the event went off without a hitch thanks to sponsors Children’s Beach House, Milton Lions Club, Milton Historical Society, Town of Milton, Milton Arts Guild and Milton Fire Department.
