To Trick or Treat or Not to Trick or Treat -- To Buy Candy or Not to Buy Candy???

Below is what the state says about Trick or Treating (copied from FPF 10/15) -- I think this means that we're ON. Are you planning on trick or treating with your kids? Those of us in the villages need to know so that we have candy when you come to our doors.

Halloween may look a little different this year, but we can still find ways to celebrate safely! Keep three things in mind when you head out on Halloween:

- 6-foot Spaces -

Keep a safe 6-foot distance between your family and others who don't live in your household. Don't forget your flashlight so you're visible in the dark! Giving out candy? Get creative! Have bags ready to grab on your front steps, or slide the treats down a candy slide.

- Masks on Faces -

Make sure you and the people around you are wearing masks. Find a fun way to make it a part of your costume! But DON'T wear a costume mask over your face mask, which could make it harder to breathe.

- Uncrowded Places -

Keep your group small, and consider skipping crowded indoor parties. Take the fun outside! If you're trick-or-treating and one neighborhood seems too busy, skip to the next one.

Making these things a part of your Halloween plans will make everyone safer. And remember… if you're sick, stay home!
