Halloween Bonfire In City Of Mendota Heights Has Been Cancelled For This Year

Press release from the City of Mendota Heights:

October 2, 2020

Due to the pandemic, the annual Halloween Bonfire will not take place this year. There are many creative ways that households and neighbors can celebrate the holiday, socially distanced that is! Some of the Center for Disease Control's low-risk activity suggestions include:

• Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them
• Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at a safe distance, with neighbors or friends
• Decorating your house, apartment, or living space
• Doing a Halloween scavenger hunt where children are given lists of Halloween-themed things to look for while they walk outdoors from house to house admiring Halloween decorations at a distance
• Having a virtual Halloween costume contest
• Having a Halloween movie night with people you live with
• Having a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home rather than going house to house
