Editor,

Regretfully, the Loma Linda neighborhood is not hosting Halloween trick or treating this year. Over 1,000 people come here between the hours of 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. There is no way to do this safely. This time people will be informed that there is no trick or treating this year. I would hate for kids to come and start going around the neighborhood only to find no one was giving out candy.

The man who handed out the Godiva chocolates, passed away this spring. Keep his family in your thoughts this Halloween.

Please share this around. We don’t want any disappointed kids! This was a neighborhood decision. There will be a traffic sign at the entrance to Loma Linda on Halloween night.
