Village 'Strongly Discourages' Trick-Or-Treating This Halloween

Press release from the Village of Deerfield:

Due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19 , the Village will not post official trick-or-treat hours for October 31, and encourages everyone to celebrate Halloween safely with their family and friends. Door-to-door trick-or-treating is strongly discouraged this year.

Residents are encouraged to find creative alternatives for a contact-free Halloween, including home and yard decorating, virtual costume contests or placing pre-wrapped candy in a sealed bag and placing it on porches of children in the neighborhood, etc.
