Indianapolis, Lawrence announce same trick-or-treats hours but different days

Eagle Nest residents could see trick-or-treaters two nights in a row, depending on which city announcement they observe.

On Monday, Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier announced the city will shift trick-or-treat hours a day earlier, to 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, to avoid a wet Wednesday forecast.

However, as of late Monday, the City of Indianapolis still planned to observe trick-or-treat hours of 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Eagle Nest residents are advised to leave their  porch lights on if they want visitors, or turn them off if they don't want to be visited.

IMPD will have extra patrols and enforcement in neighborhoods during these times to protect the safety of residents during Halloween festivities.

If you are joining in this year’s trick-or-treating fun, please consider the following safety tips:

• Wear light-colored clothing short enough to prevent tripping and add  reflective tape
• Wear fire-resistant costumes
• Make sure children can see through face masks
• Don’t wear masks or disguises into businesses
• Adults should accompany young children and children with special needs
• Go out in daylight hours if possible or carry a flashlight if you’ll be out after dark
• Motorists are reminded to slow down and be aware of their surroundings.
• Only give and accept wrapped or packaged treats
• Examine all treats before allowing children to eat them. If you find a suspicious item, contact police as soon as possible. If injury is involved, dial 911.
• Avoid props such as toy guns, which can look real
• Consider block parties instead of trick-or-treating
• Don’t fire guns – not only is this illegal, but what goes up, must come down
