Halloween 2020 – To Trick-or-Treat or Not To Trick-or-Treat? That Is The Question… |
|
Management continues to get questions regarding the status of trick-or-treating this year. King Farm Citizens Assembly (KFCA) does not have the authority to regulate traditional trick-or-treating. Due to the popularity of KFCA Halloween events in years past, KFCA has decided not to host a Halloween event for the community this year to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19. This decision is based on CDC guidance/recommendations. Please use the following link to review the CDC guidelines about Holiday Celebrations: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding while everyone adjusts to these extraordinary times. |
