🎃👻 TRICK-OR-TREAT NIGHT IN STOWE TOWNSHIP! 👻🎃
Date: Friday, October 31st, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

The Stowe Township Police Department is excited to announce that Halloween Trick-or-Treating will take place on Friday, October 31st from 6PM to 8PM. Get your costumes ready, grab your candy buckets, and let’s make it a safe and fun evening for all our ghouls, goblins, and superheroes!

🛡️ Safety is our top priority — here are some important tips for a safe Halloween:

👦 For Trick-or-Treaters & Parents:
• Wear bright or reflective costumes to be easily seen after dark
• Carry a flashlight or glow sticks
• Always walk on sidewalks, not in the street
• Look both ways before crossing — and make eye contact with drivers
• Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult
• Only visit homes with porch lights on, and never go inside a stranger’s home
• Check all candy before eating

🚗 For Drivers:
• Slow down and stay alert — children may dart out from between parked cars
• Avoid distractions like cell phones
• Use your headlights earlier in the evening to increase visibility
• Be extra cautious in neighborhoods, especially during trick-or-treat hours

📍Stowe Township officers will be out during Trick-or-Treat to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening. If you see us out and about, stop by and say hello — we may even have some treats of our own!

From all of us at the Stowe Township Police Department, have a safe, spooky, and fun Halloween! 🎃🕸️🍬

Thank you to all of the Officers, medical personnel, search teams and volunteers. It was a collective effort and Jedadiah was found safe!!
