How will you celebrate Halloween this year? Celebrations will be different due to the global pandemic. It is hard to envision a Halloween without children dressed as vampires, witches, ghouls and goblins. We will miss that Trick or Treat knock at the door.

Masks will be nothing new as they have been part of our daily dress for months. But for this special holiday you might want to grab a scary mask to match your costume. \

The CDC advises that a costume mask should not be used unless it is made of 2 or more layers of breathable fabric that covers the mouth and nose and leaves no gaps.

You can wear a disposable or reusable cloth mask under a traditional Halloween costume mask or wear a Halloween-themed face mask. These masks will help to keep you safe without spoiling your costume. Plan a Zoom Halloween party and in

Plan a Zoom Halloween party and indulge in holiday treats you have made and decorated with color and creativity. See who can come up with the most unusual.

You might start with Berly Street and Taylor Drive. Get into the spooky spirit!

ALSO DIFFERENT this year was the State Fair as a drive-thru event. Andrea Bundrick, her mother Marilyn Bundrick and Terri Weaver report there were not as many attendees this year as they rode through the arts, crafts and livestock exhibits.

Then they found the food vendors. They sampled Polish sausage, corn dogs and french fries. You couldn’t leave without a sugar-dusted elephant ear.

They report all was good but not the same as being out in the fresh fall air.

WIS Anchor Judi Gatson and Post and Courier reporter Avery Wilks served as moderators. Students Patton Byars, Laci Ellis and Hannah Smith from The Center for Law and Global Policy wrote and asked their own questions.
