Brookville’s Trick or Treat will go on as usual.
Brookville Town Council unanimously voted to have Trick or Treat from 6-8 p.m., Saturday, October 31.
BTC President Mike Biltz said if anyone feels uncomfortable with children coming up to their doors this year because of COVID-19 for those people to not turn on their porch lights. People who want to participate in Trick or Treat should turn their porch lights on.
Biltz also suggested instead of children going house to house, for the parents to take them to houses of people they know.
“Use as much caution as possible,” Biltz said.
Biltz explained town clerk/treasurer Gina Gillman asked other communities in Indiana how they were handling Trick or Treat, and the majority said they were having normal Trick or Treat nights. The town also sought advice from the county health department, but the department did not have any advice to give on the situation.
Also, Biltz said COVID-19 is a fluid situation so things may change before Halloween.
Not a good idea. I’m not worried about the kids getting Covid, but I am concerned about them spreading it throughout the community. BTC and Mike Biltz, show that you actually care about the community for once. Cancel Trick or Treat this year!
