The City of Canal Winchester is pleased to once again feature family-friendly Beggar’s Night activities. Children will be able to trick-or-treat on Halloween evening, Monday, October 31st, from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
Immediately following trick-or-treat, VFW Post 10523 will host a Halloween party in the Community Center, located at 45 E. Waterloo Street. The free, family-friendly party will feature a costume contest, magic show, and goodie bags for all. Canal Winchester Human Services will help sponsor entertainment for the evening.
While trick-or-treating can provide a lot of fun, general precautions should be taken. Some basic safety tips to follow include:
- Have an adult accompany children while they trick-or-treat.
- Only let children visit houses of people they know who have turned on an outside light to welcome trick-or-treaters.
- Inspect all candy before eating, and throw out any open or suspicious looking candy.
- Tell children to walk instead of run and look both ways before crossing the street.
- Encourage children to wear reflective costumes or add light sticks to their costumes to help make them more visible to motorists.
- Be extra cautious of children crossing the street if driving during or shortly before or after trick-or-treat hours.
The City of Canal Winchester wishes the community a safe and fun Beggar’s Night.
