BRVM’s SPOOKtacular canceled
The following message from the Boothbay Railway Village Museum announces the cancellation of the facility’s planned SPOOKtacular event on Saturday, Oct. 28.
A heartfelt message to our community:
As with all of you, the BRVM family has spent the past two days in a state of disbelief, and extreme sorrow for the tremendous and senseless loss of our fellow Mainers.
And in the wake of this tragedy, we have been forced to make a decision about tomorrow’s beloved SPOOKtacular event. It is out of love for our community that we partner with dozens of area businesses each year, to create a memorable Halloween experience for hundreds of children and their families. And sadly, it is out of love for our community, and for all who have suffered unimaginable loss, that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel tomorrow's event.
We wish to thank the following businesses and organizations for their generous commitment to this event, and to our community. Many of them will relocate to the parade, so be sure to look for them along the route!
