This pandemic has canceled so many different events. From concerts to State fairs and now the latest, trick-or-treating. Because of COVID-19, many cities have already announced they will not be having trick-or-treating this year and most are actually still waiting to make a decision. Though a lot of this is still up in the air, there are a few cities that have announced that the tricks and treats will still go on this year.

    There are already a few guidelines that are set for this year’s Halloween festivities such as no homemade treats, limiting the number of people in your group, wearing your mask and also making sure your porch light is ON if you want to participate and OFF if you don’t.
