Due to the ongoing wildfire smoke affecting eastern Massachusetts, the annual Downtown Trick or Treat scheduled for Tuesday October 29th at 4pm is cancelled.
Reports confirm multiple fires, with the largest encompassing over 100 acres in Salem, MA. Smoke from these and other fires throughout the state has led to degraded air quality, prompting concerns for the health of residents, particularly those at increased risk.
Seniors and other vulnerable populations, such as those with asthma, COPD and Emphysema, should try to remain indoors as much as possible. Other safety measures include avoid all outdoor activities including exercise, wear a mask outdoors, close all windows, and run an air purifier.
via the Reading Rec – Calling all ghouls, girls and boys! Hop in your costumes and head to downtown Reading to enjoy a spooktacular late-afternoon filled with fun and lots of treats and candy! Our local businesses will be open and ready to greet your trick or treat!
Participating businesses will be identified with a pumpkin decoration (see picture of pumpkin head —> ) on their store front. Participants are free to start anywhere they would like on the route and don’t forget to stop by the Pleasant Street Center (Senior), Police Department and Town Hall to show off those costumes and pick up some goodies. This is a free event and is for children up to the age of 13. All participants should be accompanied by an adult.
