[quote="anon-4126"]So blindly agree this a great idea. Fine. But either there is limited trick or treating as most homes are owned by at risk individuals in which case those homes on main st are not handing out candy negating the need to shut the street down or the at risk people will feel obligated to hand out candy and risk getting Covid. Either way it is a bad idea and like with the lake no thought was given to the negative side. Just a rush and do it.[/quote]
