To the Editor:

My family moved to Southern Ocean County approximately 14 years ago from Somerset County in northern New Jersey. We have always visited the Haunted Seaport in Tuckerton at Halloween; however, this year we decided not to attend.

I have four boys ranging in age from 10 to 28. I have noticed a decline in the Seaport’s Halloween festivities. By that I mean Halloween has always been a time of witches, goblins, ghosts and monsters. And that is all good; it is all good Halloween fun.
