NORTON, MA β€” Norton Recreation officials are looking to get Norton Town Common looking festive for fall while the getting is still relatively good.

"Given COVID restrictions and EEE and West Nile lurking," Norton Recreation said, "we don't know what October will bring. I'm looking to pull together a group of people to help decorate the town common to make it festive and Halloween-ish."

Those interested in getting their trick or treat on while it is still summer are encouraged to contact the Norton Recreation Department at RiceS@nortonmaus.om or 508-285-0228.
