1. We encourage alternate trick or treat activities such as those recommended by the Naugatuck Valley District (https://www.facebook.com/NaugatuckValleyHD/posts/3493006277449964 ).
2. If you choose to engage in trick or treating, we encourage one-way trick or treating as encouraged by state guidelines (https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Communications/Guidance/Connecticut-Halloween-Guidance).
3. If you are going to engage in regular trick or treating we encourage normal CDC guidelines (cdc.gov/coronavirus) such as handwashing, facemasks, and social distancing.

Note: Consistent with these guidelines, Quinn Street and Millville will NOT be closed by police.
