Court sets Pike County trick-or-treat for Oct. 29, 6–8 p.m.

Judge Jones proposed setting trick-or-treat countywide for Thursday, Oct. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. to align with city events and reduce possible safety hazards from children walking near roads after dark. One commissioner noted hospital shift end times and requested a later window (6–9 p.m.), but Judge Jones and other members expressed concern about visibility and public-safety risks if children are out near highways at 9 p.m.; the court approved 6–8 p.m.

Local schools and community groups were mentioned as having their own events at nearby dates; county officials asked fire departments and local groups to advertise other safe events as needed.
