Dear All,

There is a chill in the air, pumpkins are being carved, lots of homes have festive decorations, and soon it will be time for those little “ghosts and goblins and other tiny creatures” to go venturing out.  Attached are the “Trick or Treating” hours for Indianapolis this year as well as some safety tips.  Do be careful Halloween night, and extra cautious when driving, as when children are out they are excited and may not be paying close attention to a vehicle traveling down the road.

Many special activities, parties, and ‘safe” trick or treating are offered by various organizations and churches.  While I am sure there are more in the district than the two I have flyers for below – both the Lions Club in Clermont and the Speedway Chamber of Commerce with B&W Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning have special events on Saturday evening.  This is a terrific alternative to traditional Trick or Treating and still a great way for the children to dress up and have a lot of fun.

Have fun, be safe, and enjoy this “spooky” time of year!

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
