Trick or Treating in cities and towns across the country are up in the air! The towns and cities are trying to decide whether they will hold trick-or-treating events during the coronavirus pandemic. An Ohio man has come up with a “touch-free” alternative to handing out Halloween candy this year.
Andrew Beattie constructed a 6-inch candy chute and attached it to his porch rail, an orange-and-black striped cardboard tube through which he can drop candy from the top of his stairs. It would then land safely in the bucket or bag of visiting trick-or-treaters.
Beattie will place a sign at the bottom of his stairs, showing them where to hold their bags or candy buckets so the treats will drop right in.
He also said he will be wearing a mask and gloves and the candy will be from a factory-sealed bag.
Trick or treating could be saved with this idea! Bring a little normalcy to this crazy time!
