You're Invited to Fall Treats for All 🎃
No tricks here, just a morning full of treats. Fall Treats for All will take place Thursday, October 30, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Municipal Building’s Community Room. 🎃
Kids and chaperones are invited to come enjoy festive snacks, hands-on activities from Schlow Library and Discovery Space, fun games, a coloring station, and friendly costumes throughout the morning. A sensory-friendly time will be available from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m., with dimmed lights, low noise, and minimal scents.
Trick or Treat Costume Safety Tips
Trick or Treat will be on Friday, October 31, in the Borough of State College! Planning to take part? 🎃 Before you pick out your costume, the State College Police Department suggests that you keep these safety tips in mind while shopping:
- Choose light-colored or reflective costumes to stay visible after dark
- Avoid masks that block vision — face paint is a safer, fun alternative
- Make sure costumes fit well to prevent trips or falls — check the length and comfort
- Keep possible temperature variations in mind to stay comfortable
- Look for soft, flexible accessories instead of hard or sharp props
- Don’t forget to pick out comfortable shoes for walking around safely
These tips can help make trick or treat safe and fun for everyone!
