Halloween safety
Let’s ensure this Halloween is safe.
Check your children’s candy before they eat it.
It is possible they may receive pills laced with Fentanyl to look like candy. Rainbow Fentanyl comes in a variety of bright colors, shapes and sizes, including pills, powder, and blocks that resemble sidewalk chalk.
Trunk or Treat at McLouth UMC
McLouth United Methodist Church (Kansas Highway 16 and Summit Street) will host its 21st annual Trunk or Treat from 5-7 p.m. Oct. 31 in the parking lot.
Decorated automobile trunks will be the place to get your Halloween candy. This is a great opportunity for families who live in the country to participate in the festivities, as well as being a safe event for your little ghosts and goblins.
Community Halloween Party is Oct. 31
Join the fun at the Community Halloween Party at the Fire Department from 5:30-8 p.m. Halloween Night, Oct. 31.
The costume contest will start at 7 p.m.
Trick-or-treating etiquette
Residents who choose not to be disturbed by Trick-or-Treaters often leave their porch lights turned off.
As a courtesy, please respect their preference by only going to houses that are lit.
