As we adjust to new ways of doing things amid COVID-19, methods of having Halloween fun are under question.

Granted, the pandemic prohibited most from traveling during the summer months, as very little was known about the novel coronavirus. So, to err on the side of caution, staycations were put into play.

Yet, as more children are participating in virtual learning and are limited from interaction with other children, most parents don’t want to take away the fun of trick-or-treating, though going door to door at strangers’ homes is questionable at best.

Luckily, for those who don’t want to ring on doorbells, there are a number of events being held this weekend for children to pick up candy:

205 Youth Outreach Program and Big Boy ENT will host a drive through candy giveaway at Snow Hinton Park on Saturday, October 31 from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. or until the candy runs out. More information.
