JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While most events around town were canceled this year due to the coronavirus, Northeast Florida has adapted when it comes to safe events.
Halloween festivities are starting early at Lakewood Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville.
On Sunday, Oct. 25, the church is hosting its first drive-thru trunk-or-treat.
“What it’s going to look like is cars, the trunks are going to be socially distanced in the parking lot. There’s going to be a car in every space, and instead of kids walking around, and were going to ask families to come in their cars and stay in their cars,” said Brian Mitchell with Lakewood Presbyterian Church.
With families not leaving their cars and the candy pre-packaged, this is considered a low- to moderate-risk activity under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations.
In Fleming Island, Phillip Scarnecchia with Hibernia Baptist Church says they expect well over 400 people to attend the candy drive-by they are hosting on Friday, Oct. 30.
“So what we’ll do is when the car pulls up, it will have a sticker that says two adults, five kids. So we’re going to have girls and guys in ’50s diner outfits, and some of the girls are going to wear roller skates, and they’re going to get five different containers of hot dogs of water and condiments and things like that and then let them know they love them,” Scarnecchia said.
That’s not all
“At the very end, they’re going to get a professional photographer," Scarnecchia said. “And I don’t know how this is going to work because it’s new for us too.”
if you want to go door to door on Halloween night, here are the major takeaways from the CDC’s recommendations:
- Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
- Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
- Set up a station with individually bagged treats.
- Wash hands before handling treats.
- Wear a mask.
