KESHENA, WI (WTAQ) – One area community is offering a different kind of Trick or Treating experience after a scare last year.
Halloween is a week away, and Keshena will offer children an extra safe Trick or Treat option this year.
“It is almost like a door-to-door, but is a booth-to-booth Trick or Treating.”
Menominee Tribal Police Interim Chief Richard Nacotee says the College of Menominee Nation will open their doors for a community-based Trick or Treat on Halloween.
Kids will dress up and get candy from trusted groups in the community.
“It is more local agencies here such as the police department, and maybe social services and others that are going to be having little booths.”
After a bag of meth was found in a child’s candy supply last year, parents were concerned and officers are doing a lot of educating.
“We are giving presentations and classes on safe Trick-or-Treating and what to look for and on parents checking kids candy.”
Nacotee says no matter what, parents still need to check over their children’s candy.
Trick or Treating door to door will still take place on Sunday the 28th.
Last year, tainted candy was reported in multiple area communities.
