Did you know? Halloween has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people believed the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. To ward off spirits, they wore costumes and lit bonfires.

Halloween has always been about connection and that’s what STS North Carolina is all about—making accessible connections between worlds, and between people. So, when making plans this Halloween, you can goa ahead and skip the crystal ball when trying to make a connection. Instead - dial up 711 to get connected – accessibly!
