HAYS COUNTY — Halloween is right around the corner and even faced with the pandemic, the local communities are celebrating in their own way.

Residents are getting creative this year because trick or treating is off the table for some. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, there are several steps that should be taken in preparation for Halloween night. Six-foot social distancing should be practiced between members of different households. Cloth masks are highly recommended, and to make it fun for trick-or-treaters, cloth masks can be coordinated with costumes.
