Monster Deal of the Week

Why did the Rochester, NH man bring a ladder to the bar?

Because he heard the drinks were on the house!

Rochester’s downtown burst with eerie excitement during its first-ever three-day “Zombie Walk & Hawo-ween” festival, hosted by PO3’s Crystal Boutique.

The event ran from Friday, Oct 24 through Sunday, Oct 26, transforming city streets with ghouls, live music, and creative displays.

Families enjoyed downtown trick-or-treating, while adults joined the spirited zombie parade beneath autumn lights.

Local shops along North Main and Central Square gave out treats, offered concessions, and competed with festive storefront decorations.

The parade’s highlight saw dozens in elaborate zombie makeup dancing through Bridge Street and North Main, culminating in a showstopping finish on Hanson Street.

Residents praised the festival’s sense of unity and fun, while downtown businesses welcomed increased visitors and vibrant energy ahead of the holidays.

The Patriots delivered a commanding 32-13 victory over the Browns at Gillette Stadium, advancing to 6-2 this season.

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye enjoyed a breakout performance, completing 18 of 24 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns, all thrown in the third quarter despite an early interception.

Touchdown passes went to Hunter Henry, Stefon Diggs, and Kayshon Boutte, vaulting New England decisively ahead.

Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett set a new team record with five sacks, but his efforts weren’t enough to rally his team.

Cleveland quarterback Dillon Gabriel managed 156 yards and two scores but was hampered by two critical interceptions.
