@bustrbrwn22, I understand your concern. A few years ago, some in my immediate and other neighborhoods started turning off their porch lights to discourage treat or treaters. The idea spread and until Covid, some schools and churches would hold parties so that children could dress up i their costumes, play supervised games and be given treats. I don't know what plans may be in place for that this year.

It's just a different time and age & I'm slowly beginning to accept these new ways. I live in a mostly senior community & folks turn out the lights by 9:30 p.m. or so, so teenagers sure aren't going to come by. They told younger kids(in the area) to come just after sunset(which here in so.central Pa. is ~ 7:15 p.m. So the "action" is over by 8:30, for sure. That's how the management @ this community is dealing w/ Halloween. Kathy

@feisty76. One year we did keep our lights off because we forgot. The neighbor kids just pounded on the door anyway. So many people are not taking COVID seriously. I know we have a cure, Lysol, but it can still have severe complications.
