You Ask, Patch Answers: When's Trick-Or-Treat?

In this edition of You Ask, Patch Answers, several readers are asking that important question: When is trick-or-treating this year?

Trick-or-treating has always been on Halloween night, Oct. 31. But this year, the police and fire departments suggested the selectmen consider moving it to the Saturday before Halloween, fore safety reasons.

But after considering the idea, selectmen voted recently to keep trick-or-treating on Halloween night. So trick-or-treating will be Monday, Oct. 31, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
