The Greenfield Township Board of Supervisors heard the concerns from local parents about changing the Trick or Treat night due to the heavy rains anticipated for October 31st. Trick or Treat in Greenfield Township has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 2, 2019, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Police Chief Ron Sharkey is asking parents to use extra caution while trick or treating. Saturday evenings tend to be high traffic times.

If you will be trick or treating along Bedford Street, please find a good place to park your car and walk on the sidewalks instead of driving to each home and blocking the traffic.
