First annual Witches Night Out a success! (photos)

Witches gathered on the Mill porch for contests

“First Annual”? That is correct! Sue LaRocque of River Raisin Mercantile confirmed that Saturday evening’s Witches Night Out was so successful it is becoming an annual event. Saturday’s event included spooky treats, shopping, drinking, dining, games, raffles, and in-store specials. Linda Stevens of Village Hair Forum stated, “I think it was a great night of celebration in Manchester from Over the Edge to the River Raisin Distillery! Everyone had a smile on their faces, and the witches were enchanting.” All photos and names courtesy of Sue LaRocque and Linda Stevens.
