The Village would like to thank all those who took the time to visit Open Village Hall and provide feedback regarding Trick or Treat. The feedback provided showed that residents have varying opinions on whether Trick or Treat should be scheduled on Halloween or on the Sunday prior.

All of the feedback received was shared with the Village Board so that they could understand what residents preferred and, in many cases, why they had a preference. Just over half of the feedback confirmed that the main reasons for scheduling Trick or Treat on a weekend afternoon remain valid.

One reason being that the Village does not have sidewalks for children to walk on as they do in the city, and there are concerns about children in costumes (which may limit vision) walking or running in the streets at dark or darting out between parked cars at dark into moving traffic. The other reason being that weekend hours more easily accommodate childrens' school activities and parents work schedules.

During 2016, Trick or Treat in the Village of Pleasant Prairie will take place on Sunday, October 30 between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m.

Thank you again to all who took the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your input, because it offers a general context in which to make better decisions. The Village would like to remind residents to be safety minded during Trick or Treat hours.
