TRACK or TREAT

On Saturday, *October 24th, the Springfield Redevelopment Authority, Amherst Railway Society, and CTrail celebrate Spooky Season at their 4th annual Track-or-Treat event.

The party begins at 9 am, with a performance by the dancing Hampden County Hexanbruts.  Then, the Track-or-Treat train leaves Springfield at 10:00 am. During the ride, families will be entertained by the antics of Maggie the Railroad Clown. Upon arrival in Hartford, passengers will switch to a second CTrail train for the ride back to Springfield, returning around 11:38 am.
