The Bay School in Mathews is the place for the 2021 Howl-A-Palooza on Oct. 30 starting at 2:00 p.m. Organizers tell the Gazette-Journal that since the event was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 they wanted this year to be extra special so they partnered with Coalition4Kids and the Mathews Main Street Committee. Activities include a Main St. parade, a costume contest, games, music and seasonal treats. Belmont Pupmkin Farm is also making pumpkins available for carving.
