Good Saturday morning everyone. It is Halloween, once again just a reminder, no mask in businesses. If you are taking your kids out trick or treating have flashlights and some type of reflective material if possible. Also don’t forget at 2am Sunday morning the clocks roll back an hour so don’t be that person who is an hour early on Sunday events.

Have a great weekend Oakland…
