As much as we would love to see all the little ghosts and goblins, princesses and superheroes of the neighborhood out there trick-or-treating with family and friends, Amberfield’s HOA Board strongly recommends adhering to the COVID-19 safety guidelines established by county officials.
Some of their social-distant recommendations for Halloween include:
Participating in online costume parties and pumpkin carvings
Decorating homes, yards, neighborhoods with Halloween decor
Participating in car parades such as:
Drive-by events or contests where participants dress in costume or decorate vehicles
Dive-in or drive-through events where people can remain safe in their vehicles and drive through an area looking at Halloween displays. For events like these, participants can “receive a treat bag (limited to commercially packaged nonperishable treats) or other takeaway item from an organizer while the participants remain in their vehicle.”
Visiting Halloween movie nights at drive-in movie theaters that are in accordance with county health guidelines
Eating a Halloween themed meal at an outdoor restaurant that complies with county health guidelines
Checking out Halloween-themed art installations at outdoor museums that adhere to county health regulations
