What in the Winder is up with Halloween this year? Remember wayyyy back in 2019, how excited we all were that Halloween would fall on a Saturday night in 2020? Well, it may not seem quite as exciting anymore, but it also seems that many Winderians are still planning to Trick-or-Treat, and why not? Trick-or-treating seems like a made-for-pandemic activity: it’s outside, you travel in small groups and don’t stay in any one place for too long, and you wear a mask!

That said, the CDC has recommended several guidelines, including practicing social distancing, staying outside, and traveling with groups from within your household if possible. Additionally, as always, hand-washing before and after is urged, as well as bringing lots of hand sanitizer. They also recommend wearing a cloth mask, even under your costume mask, if applicable. Lastly, the CDC reminds families NOT to participate in giving out candy or trick-or-treating if anyone is symptomatic or has tested positive for COVID-19.
Here are a few ways people are getting creative across the country for Halloween this year!
- Candy Chute – love this idea!
- Grab Bags – these help minimize physical contact, and are cute & easy to hand out!
So as a reminder, have a fun, safe Halloween, and let’s spread smiles, sugar, and tooth decay, not viruses!
