October of 2020 saw the return of some familiar activities, including a few with a twist. House-to-house trick-or-treating was replaced with trick-or-treating in the town park, at tables supplied by and staffed by local businesses. The School of Rock Bedford performed its summer shows in front of live audiences, but the shows were outdoors, and the performers were masked and safely spaced. Evan performed in the “Pop Punk” show. School continued in a hybrid model, with students attending alternately in-person and online. The kids still carved Jack O’Lanterns and got dressed up for Halloween, like any other year.
