Saturday, October 31st parent are invited to bring kids out in costume around the Village of New Paltz to 5 different station which will be decorated and have prewrapped goodie bags for the kids to take with them while supplies last. Parents can be assured that the volunteers at each station will be adhering to COVID guidelines. They will wear face coverings and gloves. The small bags being handed out will be individually wrapped candy or trinkets. Everyone will be maintaining social distancing and utilizing one-way traffic flow. You will also be asked to keep the flow moving so that they keep the crowds small.

The Village posted the following information for people who want to participate. "Please be safe and do not wear a face covering underneath or over a Halloween mask because it could affect breathing. Get creative with decorating your face coverings!"
