Halloween plans in Mt. Carmel were announced this evening by Mayor Joe Judge at the City Council’s regular meeting. Judge said the weekend will begin with a community trunk or treat event at the city park and it will look different than similar events in the past. Judge said the Eagles Club is working with the city to hold the trunk or treat as visitors will park at the 4-H Center and walk over to the Shelter House where the treats will be distributed….

The city park will be closed to traffic that evening during the trunk or treat.

Traditional trick or treating will then held the following night on the 31st from 4:30 to 8:30. Judge reminded residents not wanting to participate to leave their porch lights off that evening. He also said everyone needs to be mindful of the state department of public health’s Halloween guidelines.
