Happy Halloween. It’s not canceled.
In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy many had wondered if trick-or-treaters would still be welcome in neighborhoods – some of which on Tuesday were without power.
In Prince William County, officials there said they don’t have the power to cancel the candy-getting, costume-wearing festivities.
County spokeswoman Nikki Brown comments:
——-
The county doesn’t regulate Halloween or trick-or treating. We do recommend that people follow these safety tips: https://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/FR/Pages/Halloween-Safety.aspx.
In addition, due to the recent weather, people need to assess whether or not they think it’s safe to go out or take their kids out. If they do go out, they need to watch for any flooding or debris. Hopefully, power will be restored by then, but if not, people should be aware of that, as well.

Adversely in the gated North Stafford community of Aquia Harbour, police chief Patricia Harman did have the option to postpone Halloween but chose not to.
The neighborhood was impacted by a few power outages but it wasn’t enough to order children off streets tonight.
