The Optimist Club will have candy and games inside T.J. Davis from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “We just want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable evening.”
Chief Shane Guyant told the council that trick-or-treating in the city will be allowed from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. “As far as the kiddos out trick-or-treating 5:30 to 8:30 will be the time.”
Guyant also referenced the three “very family-friendly events” which Traynhan had mentioned. “We are encouraging everyone to please come to those. A lot of people are going to be at the trunk-or-treat in those areas. We’ve got a couple of officers who said they are going to dress up.”
