trick or treat

Halloween trick-or-treaters are heading for your house: Be prepared.

It’s yet again time to run out and buy some candy as Dauphin County gears up to celebrate Halloween. 

Dauphin County’s 40 municipalities spread out their trick-or-treat night across the Halloween weekend. Residents are encouraged to turn their porch light on to receive trick-or-treaters on the designated night. 

A few municipalities do not designate a trick-or-treat night because the area is too rural for the traditional door-to-door festivities.
