Bring Trick-or-Treating home with this fun game & treats box from a Petworth local

Petworth local Victoria Richards loves Halloween, a passion she learned from her father. “He’s a Halloween fanatic,” she said, “who would decorate our family home with fake cobwebs, spiders and pumpkins every Halloween.
