Dear Friends and Neighbors:
I hope you are all well and enjoying our transition into Fall 2020 – Covid style. We have received many inquiries concerning Halloween and Trick or Treating. As we explained in the last email blast, Halloween is not a Town Holiday, however the Town does normally provide public safety in areas that draw very large crowds such as the Wampus and Glendale area.
Together, as a community, we have worked extremely hard toward stopping the spread of the Coronavirus and we need to continue to do so. Thus the Town is cautioning against Trick or Treating this year and encourages everyone to visit the Town Administrator’s webpage, that will continue to be updated as we receive information, for other ways to celebrate Halloween.
Importantly the Town will be taking the following steps to discourage large crowds of residents and visitors coming to North Castle to Trick or Treat:
-
North Castle PD WILL NOT be closing Wampus Ave and Glendale Ave. However, if a public safety issue occurs they are required to be on site.
-
The School parking lots will be closed at 12 Noon on Saturday, October 31st. We will continue to work with the School District on finalizing signage, Police presence and communication. The Town cannot close private lots.
This is a work in progress and we caution everyone to be respectful of those who do not want crowds of people in their neighborhoods. Feel free to create your own creative and friendly signage if you choose to ask Trick or Treaters not to approach your house
