Moon Township Trick or Treat
Moon Township Trick or Treat will be on Sunday, October 31 from 6-7:30 PM. Halloween is a festive and fun time of the year for kids, but it can be a little tricky for parents. Here are a few safety tips!
- Apply makeup instead of wearing a mask. Masks can be hot and uncomfortable, and they can obstruct a child’s vision.
- Arrange for an adult or responsible teenager to accompany younger children when Trick or Treating.
