Several cities in Central Indiana have moved their official Trick or Treat hours to the weekend due to a rainy and windy weather forecast for the evening of October 31, but Fishers is not changing plans.
The official Trick or Treat hours for Fishers remain 6pm-8pm on October 31st.
Fishers Police Spokesman Tom Weger says his department is aware of the less than ideal weather forecast, but adds that “conditions are not likely to be dangerous.”
But city officials will keep an eye on the forecast as Haloween draws closer,
“We will keep watch of the weather and be prepared to make adjustments in the event the weather forecast changes” according to Weger.
It is 34 degrees with a wind chill of 21 . A lot of towns and cities in Indiana experiencing similar conditions have moved their trick or treat time window to the weekend. Why has Fishers not? For the safety of our youth, their parents, and the elderly we should look at rescheduling too. Please also remember to take into consideration it is also flu season and a winter wonderland outside. We have a choice.
I was out with my kids for 45 minutes or so last night trick or treating. While the wind was chilly, it really wasn’t too terrible and the kids didn’t mind at all. There were a lot of people out including people sitting in their garages to give out candy. It was a lot of fun! No reason to change it just because it’s a bit on the cold side.
