This year we will be honoring the beloved Alice Saunders; Isla’s Great Grandmother, who passed away recently. Alice was a huge part of the Strafford community, and was always there to greet her peers at many great events.

When planning Isla’s Trunks Treats & Trails 3 years ago, we were inspired by the Haunted Hallow put on by the Strafford SwampStompers. Alice was the first person you talked to as you entered the event each year as she ran the admissions.

We love you Alice🕊️
