HALLOWEEN UPDATE- Town of Mount Airy

The Emergency Response Team and Town Leadership reviewed both Carroll County and Frederick Counties suggestions. Carroll supports traditional Trick or Treating to restore more normalcy to our children with several precautions listed below. Frederick County, a more populated county, has discouraged it this year. Once again Mount Airy is united and respects the more rural approach, similar to Carroll County. You may choose to follow Frederick County’s, more cautious, approach. It’s up to you! Those participating please follow safety suggestions. Those NOT participating please leave your porch light off as the traditional symbol.  

Carroll County Recommendations - Officials at the Carroll County Health Department say following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, that it is safe for kids to trick-or-treat as long as they social distance and wear masks:

·         Stay with people you live with.

·         Social Distance

·         Wear a Mask

·         Stay home if you are sick

·         Wear facial coverings

·         Non-Contact options: Candy Chute, Bags
