We had a fantastic turnout at the Trunk or Treat last night. Several people said it was the largest attendance they have ever seen. There were 25 different trunk displays, our Fire Department, Library, and our school partners did a wonderful job. There were a lot of fantastic costumes and everyone seemed to have a great time!

This was a tremendous event for our great community and our children that brought people together to enjoy each other and smile while keeping everyone safe.

Great job everyone!

Good Afternoon

We had a woman's wallet turned into us by the postmaster at the Sullivan Post Office. The postmaster did attempt to call the owner. There is an driver's license inside and we do know who it belongs to
If you forgot your wallet at the post office on Saturday morning in Sullivan, please call Cheshire County Dispatch 603-355-2000 to make arrangements to get the wallet from us.

Thanks
