Trick-or-Treating: October 31, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Halloween is just around the corner, but this year, thanks to COVID-19 and flu season, trick-or-treating will take a lot more preplanning so that everyone can stay safe. One safety suggestion involves those participating in Halloween to hand out individually wrapped treats outside.

As in year’s past, trick-or-treating in The Landings is on October 31, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer the following trick-or-treating safety tips:

• Stay at least six feet from others who don’t live with you.
• Wear a mask. A costume mask is NOT a substitute for a cloth mask.
• Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters. 
• Give out treats outdoors, if possible. 
• Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take. 
• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home and before you eat any treats.
