Hitt Family Display
The Hitt family at 533 Three Mile Hill Road will again decorate their yard for Halloween and collect donations. You can show your appreciation for their display by making cash or check donations only on Halloween that will go to three local causes, the Middlebury Food Bank, Brass City Rescue Alliance and Make a Home Foundation. While donations are appreciated, they are not required. Dan Hitt says the display should be up by Friday, October 24. Don’t miss it!
