Betton Hills Halloween Trick-or-Treating Guidelines

Here is our ghoulish guide for keeping our neighbors scared, chilled to the bone, and SAFE!

Giving out treats

Put away your cauldrons! Don’t have a bowl filled with treats to grab. Our little monsters must only paw their own goodies. Get creative instead!
Set out treats individually by using spaced out treat bags (available by request*).
Use your emergency stash of wooden stakes for some “Stick-or-Treat” in your yard.
Drop socially distanced goodies into bags that kids set on your table with a three-foot grabber stick (we have them!*).
Decorate a wrapping paper tube or PVC pipe and slide a treasure down for kids to catch. Don’t forget your ZOMBIE-PROOF hand sanitizer and PPE!
Don’t let the goblins darken your door! Why hand out from your door, when you can setup a table/stand at the end of your driveway or yard? Coffins are fine, but car trunks are not.
Sorry, witches & warlocks, but poisoned apples are prohibited! No homemade treats. Keep candy packages closed until preparing to give out.
Sanitize hands and minimize touching treat wrappers
Try not to ghost us! Participate by watching from your porch. Dress up & decorate if you can. Have as much fun as possible for SCREAMING out loud!

Don’t hunt in packs! Have a bowling good time with just your household.
Don’t haunt your neighbors! Stay 6 ft or more from other groups. Wait for groups to clear before approaching a driveway or yard.
Scary good hygiene. Bring hand sanitizer and don’t touch your face! Wash hands before you trick!
Bring a mask for times that you can’t socially distance! It will keep germs & vampires away!
Don’t lurk in doorways! Knock, knock, knocking on doors is a no go!
Avoid rebels without a cause. Only take candy from houses that follow the rules!
