In Accordance with CDC Guidelines the Town Encourages Alternatives to Traditional Trick-or-Treating

For Trick-Or-Treaters: 

• Don't go trick-or-treating if you feel sick or have COVID symptoms. Stay home!
• Wash your hands at home before and after trick-or-treating.
• Wear protective masks. 
• Maintain family group "bubbles" with six feet or more distance from others when walking from house to house. 
• Maintain six feet or more distance when in line at a home.
• Ask people to drop candy into your bag or container, preferably with tongs or gloves, rather than reaching into a bowl. 

For Households Giving Out Candy: 

• Wash your hands often, before, during, and after handing out candy.
• Wear protective masks if you are giving out candy.
• Put six-foot-spaced chalk lines or other visual indicators on your sidewalk to help people maintain safe distance. 
• Don't touch the candy with unprotected hands. Instead, hand candy out, using gloves or tongs and dropping in bags or containers, rather than letting kids reach into a bowl.
