Many people plan to celebrate safely. It just takes a little bit of creativity. Halloween in the era of covid. Perhaps this picture of a home in San Francisco sums it up for many. But across the bay and this neighborhood in pleasant hills, some or busy putting up an outdoor movie screen, wish where an outdoor screening of the film hocuspocus is being shown. Its difficult to explain to kids continually that we cant trickortreat or such r touch things. Heather hopkins is also organizing a Scavenger Hunt for the neighborhood children. Its a way to get them out of the house and still have fun. Parents can see the route. Theres little shortcut reminders. My hope is that people do this on foot, they take their cautions on a bike ride, they can do it in a car. Theres a lot of ways to participate. And theyre also planning an online game of spooky bingo and a photo booth. With my son involved, im inspired to do something special. Outdoor gatherings are limited to three households or less, and no more than 25 people, no indoor parties.

Keep them spaced apart, the candy bars, thats perfectly fine, because, as i said, were not recommending the candy be eaten outside. Health experts say everyone should wear a mask, but not a halloween mask. I would definitely tell the parents that wear regular masks that are covid, and a lot of creative ways to make those masks be incorporated into the childs costume. Mean people say covid isnt ruining halloween, its just modifying it. We cant forget about the tradition that we have, and if we lose that tradition, weve lost so much. Another bit of advice from health experts. They say parents should accompany their kids outdoors, even in those kids are teenagers, and heather, ill bet the teenagers will be glad to hear that. Yeah, i bet so. But, rob, you really drive home the point that people have to think outside the box. Amazon and i were talking earlier, and he said he heard from a viewer who said they were going to use a chute down the staircase to launch the candy to the trickortreaters. We have neighbors planning to do the same thing. There are so many amazing ideas. You have to wonder in once the pandemic is over, some of this stuff will be incorporated, become new traditions. Thats right. I love the Scavenger Hunt there in that neighborhood that you profiled. Thank you, rob, have yourself a good weekend. Sure. You, too.
