We also want to remind everyone there will be small children walking around during this time and to take extra precautions when driving.
Some additional recommendations are listed below:
· First and foremost, you do not have to participate if you do not want to or if you do not feel safe.
· Do not participate if you or your child feels sick, has symptoms of COVID-19 or is at high risk of complications due to underlying medical conditions or with a compromised immune system.
· Avoid rubber or plastic costume masks.
· Go only during times designated by local authorities.
· Trick-or-Treat in small groups.
· Stay in your own neighborhood.
· Take only wrapped candy or treats and examine all treats before eating.
Trick-or-Treat is an opportunity for our neighborhoods and the community to come together to provide a fun, safe environment for children and families to celebrate with one another. The City of Mansfield wishes all a safe and fun Halloween.
