Pick up a pumpkin

 
 
 

THERE’LL be fewer ghostly goings-on this Halloween but don’t despair.

To cheer up everyone, Langholm Regeneration Group has organised some autumnal fun for the town’s younger generation.

From this Saturday the High Street shops and other businesses in the town will be decorated with colourful pumpkins.

Thanks to all the shopkeepers taking part, children will be able to follow a pumpkin trail which will go some way to making up for not being able to dress up and go to their usual Halloween parties.

The pumpkins will be on display until Saturday, October 31 so make sure you get your kids into town so they can see what’s in store.
