David Treglown Jr. and sister Harper love Halloween and will be going trick-or-treating like usual this year. (Provided by Treglown family) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging parents to skip trick or treating, and instead find other activities, like virtual costume parties. Some say that will take the fun out of Halloween, so they’re not changing anything. Others are planning to take precautions, like Nicole Fiorenti-Katz and her daughter Jocelyn. They love Halloween, but the family will wear their costumes in the safety of their home this year. Fiorenti-Katz and her husband have asthma, putting them in a high-risk category for COVID-19. “I thought about it for a while and I really did want to take her out. With Halloween being on a Saturday, it’s like how dare COVID ruin a Saturday Halloween?” But they’re making the best of it. “We are going to carve pumpkins and we’re going to decorate the house and turn off all the lights and put up a lot of candles and tell spooky stories and roast marshmallows.” Over at the Treglown household, David Jr., Harper and mom Samantha are getting ready for a traditional night of tricking or treating. “They love Halloween. They like, basically once it’s Oct. 1, they’re like OK, when’s Halloween? Let’s count down the days,” Samantha said. She said it’s important to keep things as normal as possible. “We are all outside, the candy’s already prewrapped, you can open it at your own pace and you know, if things don’t feel exactly like safe-ish, we can always just stay around our house.” The City of Naples has a drive-thru Trunk-or-Treat event, as does Collier County, among its other plans, which include a Halloween party and a candy haunted house event.
