Halloween on Monday

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy Halloween was rescheduled to Monday by Gov. Chris Christie last week.

Although trees are down and power is still out in part of Millburn, Mayor Sandra Haimoff said parents should use their judgement about letting their kids go trick or treating.

Haimoff explained the township doesn't set a day for Halloween. The only event the township has celebrated for Halloween is the Chamber of Commerce's preschool trick or treating in downtown Millburn. 

Christie issued an executive order last week that no New Jersey town can hold trick-or-treating on Halloween. 

“As governor, it is my responsibility to use all available resources of the state government to protect against the emergency created by Hurricane Sandy – postponing Halloween celebrations by five days is a commonsense and necessary step to accomplish that,” Christie said.
