Annual Scarecrow Decorating Day
If you’ve ever seen people driving around Town with scarecrows sticking out of their trunks, they were probably on their way home from this
popular event! Join us on Saturday, October 8 at 2:00 p.m. in front of the Brookfield Town Hall, 100 Pocono Road. Please bring along old clothes (shirt and pants), string, scissors, a brown bag or sack for the head and whatever accessories you would like to decorate with.

11th Annual Trick or Treat at Town Hall
Parents and children are invited to trick or treat at Town Hall this year on Monday, October 31 from 2:00 – 3:45 p.m. Office doors will be decorated, and we will be passing out lots of candy! Please be sure to dress in costume and to bring your own candy bag to hold all of your treasures. There is no charge for this event. However, we are asking that each child bring either a non-perishable, kid-friendly food item such as peanut butter, jelly, canned spaghetti or ravioli for the food pantry or a monetary donation for the Brookfield Emergency Fund. The Emergency Fund is a nontax dollar supported fund, which aids Brookfield families in crisis. The collection box for any items will be at the food pantry in Town Hall, located on the first floor across from the Tax Collector’s Office. Please pre-register by calling Parks & Recreation at 775-7310 by October 28.
