Happy Halloween, MoCo! 🎃👻

The big night is finally here! Before our little ghouls, goblins, and superheroes hit the pavement across Montgomery County, here’s a quick game-plan for a safe, fun, and treat-filled evening:

👻 Prime Time: Trick-or-treating usually kicks off around dusk (5:30–6:00 PM) and wraps up between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. Look for homes with their porch lights turned on!

🎃 Glow as You Go: With sun setting early, throw on reflective tape or hand out glow sticks/flashlights to keep everyone visible along darker neighborhood streets.

🐈‍⬛ Pedestrian Safety First: Stick to sidewalks where available, use crosswalks, and cross streets as a group. Keep costume lengths hemmed to prevent trips on neighborhood steps and curbs.

🍬 Candy Check: Remind kids to wait until you get home to inspect their loot before diving into those sweet treats!

Stay safe, watch out for driver blind spots, and have a spooktacular Halloween! What neighborhood are you trick-or-treating in tonight? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🎃 Trick or Treat Reminders for Parents and Kids 🎃

👻 Stay Visible. Wear reflective clothing, carry flashlights or glow sticks, and use sidewalks whenever possible.
👻 Stay Together. Children should travel with an adult, stay in familiar neighborhoods, and never enter a stranger's home or car.
👻 Inspect Candy. Check all treats before eating. Avoid opened, damaged, homemade or unwrapped items from unknown sources.

Remember to put phones away while crossing street and pay attention! Remind kids to look both ways---even at crosswalks.

Montgomery County does not enforce an official countywide trick-or-treating curfew, but standard local etiquette is to begin around dusk (roughly 5:30–6:00 PM) and wrap up by 8:30–9:00 PM. Stick to homes with their porch lights turned on.

Answer Revealed! 🌰 Last week's "So you know MoCo?"

If you guessed Acorn Park in Downtown Silver Spring, you got it right! 👏🎉

Nestled at the corner of East-West Highway and Newell Street, this tiny 0.12-acre park packs a huge historical punch:

The Acorn Gazebo: The iconic 1840s acorn-shaped structure was originally built as a garden folly for Francis Preston Blair’s estate.

The Name Origin: In 1840, Blair discovered a glittering, mica-speckled natural spring right here and named his country estate "Silver Spring"—giving the entire city its name!

The Grotto & Murals: Today, you can visit the stone grotto site and colorful murals depicting local history.

Can you guess where this rushing water and dramatic rock landscape is located right here in our backyard?
