Halloween Pandemic Style

By Mary Ann Hanlon, Publisher Mom, Macaroni Kid Easthampton/Southampton/South Hadley September 8, 2020

We will be co-hosting the Trunk or Treat Drive Thru with Mary Ann's Dance and More and Hackworth School of Performing Arts on Sunday, October 25th from 1p to 3p.

The event will be a drive-thru style event.  We will have the following in place:   

  1. Trunk or Treaters will enter from Wemelco Way, and follow the established traffic pattern already on the driveway. 
  2. Candy will be handed to Trunk or Treaters through the car window
  3. No one will get out of their cars


ALL STATE AND LOCAL GUIDELINES REGARDING SAFETY WILL BE FOLLOWED


We are allowed 12 vehicles to decorate their trunks.  To be a part of the "Trunks", please fill out the form:  https://forms.gle/ktygP2T77DHSv5cF6

Please be aware that this is a non-traditional Trunk or Treat, there are strict guidelines that MUST be adhered to in order to participate.

The event will be a drive-thru style event.  We will have the following in place:
·        
Trunk or Treaters will enter from Wemelco Way, and follow the established traffic pattern already on the driveway.
·        
Each car that is participating in Trunk or Treat will be spaced  6 + feet apart  - a parking spot on each side of the participating car will give more than the allotted social distance.
·        
Maximum number of cars allowed for the event will be 12.

Trunk or Treaters will not get out of their cars.
·        
People handing out the candy will be masked and will wear gloves as well.

No more than 2 people will be allowed with the decorated trunk/car.
·

As the date will be in October, we are aware that so much can change and we will be flexible and make any necessary adjustments to keep participants safe.

SET UP WILL BEGIN AT 11 AM – ALL TRUNKS MUST BE READY TO GO NO LATER THAN 12:45 PM.

ALL participants are responsible for adhering to the above guidelines and be aware that they may change at the last minute given the fluidity of the pandemic and be ready to “pivot” if the need arises.
