Children in West Chester Township and Liberty Township can go trick-or-treating between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. tonight, Oct. 31. In the future years, both townships will likely keep the same hours and same date.

Last year, West Chester Township administrator Judith Boyko made a motion in a trustees meeting to establish trick-or-treat hours every year from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31. The board of trustees approved the motion.

At that time, Boyko said “in the 18 years” she had been working in the township, the board had “never diverted from Halloween as the trick-or-treat date.”

A future board can change this agreement, but it appears trick-or-treating will always take place on the same date and at the same time every fall.

Meanwhile, Liberty Township administrator Dina Minneci made the decision to have trick-or-treating take place Oct. 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in August after getting numerous inquires from residents.

The two townships both celebrated Halloween with the same hours on the same date (Oct. 31) last year, which fell on a Sunday.
