We understand the severity of COVID, but we also understand that kids are the ones being affected the most with things being cancelled. We will be handing out pre packaged treats from 5 to 7 or as long as supply lasts to any trick or treaters that show up. If they don’t want to get out of the car, we will deliver to the window. We will take precautions on our end as far as safety and masks as to not expose or potentially spread anything.
