Advisory

Halloween 2020

Halloween 2020 -
It is left up to the discretion of the parents/guardians as to their decision on participating in Trick-or-Treating, and health guidelines in place at the time.

Since Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, Trick-or-Treating can be conducted safely between 12 - 8pm, should you choose to participate. Curfew should be deemed age-appropriate, no later than 10pm.

TIPS FOR TRICK-OR-TREATERS:
*Porch/outdoor lights on = Trick-or-Treat here!
*Porch/outdoor lights off = Not this year!
*Stay with your family or "group"
*Practice social distancing (at least 6 feet apart from other groups)
*DO NOT enter someone else's home
*Use hand sanitizer
*Wear a cloth mask (Costume masks do not provide protection)
*Avoid Trick-or-Treating if you or anyone in your household isn't feeling well, has a fever, or is under quarantine
*Only accept candy that is in factory sealed packaging

TIPS FOR CANDY GIVERS
*Porch/outdoor lights on = Trick-or-Treat here!
*Porch/outdoor lights off = Not this year!
