Let’s get ready for trick or treating!

Costumes, decorations, community, fresh air – there are lots of reasons to love Halloween trick-or-treating.  So join your neighbors for an afternoon/evening celebration of spookiness that includes strutting in your Halloween costume and gawking at the best tricked out driveways/houses.  Last year families placed tables at the top of their driveways with goodie bags.  This placement of treats shortened walking distance for tricksters as they didn’t have to stroll down driveways to knock on doors and then walk back to the street.  Trick or treating at 4:30 p.m. allowed enough daylight hours for participants to appreciate driveway/house decorations and the amazing costumes they were bound to see.  

DATE & TIME

Sunday, October 31, 4:30 p.m.

Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding Halloween trick-or-treating says it’s safe if done outside this year.  

CANDY/GOODIE DISTRIBUTION 

Instead of having kids reach into a communal candy bowl, we’re asking that individual goodie bags be lined up on a table for kids to grab and go while continuing to social distance.  Place the table at the beginning of your driveway or edge of your yard.

CANDY/GOODIE COLLECTION 

We’re asking that candy receivers sign up at the link below just so we have a ballpark estimate on participation.  

VIRTUAL DECORATION/COSTUME CONTEST

Everyone likes a prize.  So take your driveway/house Halloween decorations to the next level and win that prize!  (If you want to give out candy, but not decorate, that’s great too!)

Then, put on that fantastical outfit/ensemble and enter the costume contest.  Categories follow:

• Pets

• Preschool (age 5 and under)

• Elementary/middle school (ages 5-12)

• Teens (ages 13+)

• Driveway/house 

SIGN-UP LINK

Please use the following link to sign up if you plan to give candy, receive candy, enter the house/driveway decoration contest, or enter the costume contest.  Please register at the link below by October 24 so we have time to create a map of participating houses.
