Halloween  Dia de los Muertos  Thanksgiving

During the festivities follow these tips to stay safe and health!

Halloween 

CDC recommends these lower-risk safe activities - 

• Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them
• Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at a safe distance, with neighbors or friends
• Decorating your house, apartment, or living space
• Doing a Halloween scavenger hunt where children are given lists of Halloween-themed things to look for while they walk outdoors from house to house admiring Halloween decorations at a distance
• Having a virtual Halloween costume contest
• Having a Halloween movie night with people you live with
• Having a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home rather than going house to house
  
  

CDC officials say if you think you have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should not participate in physical Halloween festivities and should not give out candy to trick-or-treaters.
