The Waterford Flat Halloween was sadly cancelled, as we can’t safely offer all the usual community programs and activities this year. Instead, we have donated to the Harrison/Waterford PTO to help them variously support local children in BOTH elementary schools.

An alternate TRUNK or TREAT was held in 

No. Waterford on Halloween from 6- 7:30pm at the church and Melby's parking lot where there is more room for social distancing. The Library Association appreciates these efforts on behalf of the children.
