With a 100% chance for percipitation on Thursday, and a 50% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours, community leaders around Webster County have taken a hard look at scheduled Trick-or-Treating hours and begun to make decisions.
As of 10:00 a.m. this morning, Oct. 30, 2013, the cities of Dixon, Clay, Slaughters and Sebree have all officially moved Trick-or-Treat hours from Halloween to the following day, Nov. 1, 2013, from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
Providence remains the only community in Webster County that plans to stick with normal Trick-or-Treat hours. Those hours are on Halloween from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
"Providence will have Halloween as scheduled Thursday night, there is a slight chance that the time scheduled it will not be raining," Providence Police Chief Brent McDowell wrote on Facebook. "Due to senior night at Webster County Football & other activities we feel that with a chance of it not raining at the time scheduled we would have Halloween as scheduled. We will look at the weather again in the morning and if it looks like there is a higher risk of ...storms & radar shows the storms will hit when Halloween has been scheduled then it will be moved to Friday but that will be determined tomorrow (Halloween Day). As with any weather common sense needs to be used & if it's storming it will be scheduled for Friday but once again that will be determined tomorrow after looking at all the weather that could or could not come. We would like to thank everyone for their patience with us as we figure out what to do & when & keep everyone's safety in mind. Thank You"
