Given these unusual times, whether or not you choose to welcome trick-or-treaters at your door on October 31 is completely up to you.

At its September 28 meeting, the Mokena Village Board approved Trick or Treat hours from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, for those wishing to take part in this annual Halloween tradition.

However, for those not comfortable hosting trick-or-treaters at their door in the current environment, there’s no obligation to participate.
