Ghastly Weather Forecast Threatening Trick-Or-Treating

With gusty, wet weather predicted for Thursday, trick-or-treaters may be looking for a plan B.

The forecast for Halloween includes 30-40 mph winds, with gusts up to 60 mph, and a possibility of rain showers. The less-than-ideal conditions have led some communities to postpone festivities.

Fishers Police have announced that the official trick-or-treating hours have been moved back one day.

Due to inclement weather, @Fishers_Police has moved trick-or treating hours to Friday from 6-8 p.m. in #Fishers

Muncie has also moved its trick-or-treating hours to Friday, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Other communities are leaving the possibility of trick-or-treating on Halloween open. Westfield is asking residents to vote their preference for either Thursday or Friday on its Facebook page. 

There are indoor alternatives available to Central Indiana’s little ghosts and goblins on Halloween.

The Indiana State Fairgrounds will host its traditional Trunk or Treat event  from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Champion’s Pavillion.
