Will Your Kids Trick-Or-Treat This Year? Take The Patch Survey

PENNSYLVANIA — Most Pennsylvania residents have missed out on a lot of things thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Parties, local events and festivals, birthdays, weddings, dinners out, sports and even in-person school — they've all been changed or canceled as the world works to stop the virus in its tracks.

But with the start of the school year and the first day of fall, some have been calling for a return to normalcy, even as coronavirus cases continue to increase in some areas. Without a vaccine, the pandemic has left many wondering if we'll miss out on even more, from fall fun to the holidays — and Halloween is right around the corner.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is discouraging traditional trick-or-treating, saying it's a high-risk activity. The agency has offered suggestions for low- or at least lower-risk Halloween celebrations.

Also on the "high-risk" list are events such as trunk-or-treat, indoor haunted houses, Halloween parties and hayrides with non-immediate family members.

Patch wants to know: what are your plans for Halloween? Will you send the kids trick-or-treating? Will you pass out candy? Take the survey below and let us know.

Note: The survey is not meant to be a scientific poll, with random sampling and margins of error, but is meant only to gauge the sentiments of our readers in an informal way. This survey will close on Oct. 11 and the results will be shared soon after.
