Dear Pollard Neighbors:

As Halloween descends upon us Saturday night we want to remind everyone to be safe and warm for Trick-or-Treat.  This cold snap will require warm clothes for walking around at night, so dress the little ones accordingly.  Please wear reflective clothing where possible.  While black is the norm for Halloween costumes, it does make nighttime visibility difficult for drivers.  Carrying flashlights will help night drivers avoid little ghosts and goblins.  Parents should accompany children as they make their rounds collecting goodies.

Trick-or-Treat hours should last between 6:00 and 8:00 pm.  We request that homeowners set up tables at the ends of driveways like last year to make it easier for the kids to get from house to house.  If you want the kids to knock on your door, please leave your porch lights on.  Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, homeowners should hand out candy and have a bottle of hand sanitizer handy and use it often.  Please wear sanitary masks during Trick-or-Treat.  To avoid potentially spreading the virus, kids should not be allowed to grab candy from containers at each stop.

The winner of the Halloween decorating contest this year is David Rodrique and Kristy Hoffman at 1457 Pollard Parkway, an impressive display.  Other significant runners-up are:

• Carey and Kathryn Clifton – 1481 Pollard Parkway

• Jerry and Lori Boyce – 1434 Pollard Parkway

• Matt and Sarah Gamble – 5825 South Pollard Parkway

• Emmett and Melissa Healy – 5734 Hyacinth Avenue

• Bill and Margaret Martin – 5866 Hibiscus Drive

There are lots of other spooky decorations around the neighborhood, so look around and enjoy what should be perfect weather for a delightful Halloween.
