Trunk or Treat still on???

Posted by ClaudiaK on 10/1/2021, 9:54 pm

At the city council mtg Tuesday the mayor said he hadn't made a decision to have trunk or treat this year? It's a tradition here and was canceled last year due to covid but no reason not to have it this year. If you want trunk or Treat to be held this year call city hall and make your support known or email the mayor and councilmen. Emails on city website.

The Saltwater Garden Club will be judging a house for Halloween! 🎃🎃. Use your imagination and go all out! The winner and address will be announced at the Halloween Festival on Halloween night at the MUD exercise park. Anyone that would like to participate in the festival can contact Karen McCloskey.

The Salt water garden club (SWGC) was told by The mayor that there would be no Trick or Trunk this year, citing Covid issues. As an ALTERNATIVE, the SWGC decided to offer a “Plan B”; Halloween festival at the MUD 12 Park. However, if the city does decide to have Trick or Trunk in the city parking lot, the SWGC would be delighted, as always, to participate in this fun event which is put on for all kids in our area.We look forward to Trick or Trunk each year and always have such a good time with the kids! The SWGC will be judging a House in each of the three sections of our community: bayou Vista, original Bayou Vista and Omega Bay. As a reminder to all members please bring candy for trick-or-treating, to our next meeting on October 12. If you have any questions about this event, please contact me. Looking forward to a GREAT HALLOWEEN!

Yes to Trick or Trunk

I did NOT say that there would be no Trick or Trunk this year; a few weeks ago I said that the Chief and I would look at our circumstances with regard to COVID and decide at a later date whether the City Lot could be used for Trick or Trunk. Chief is the City's Emergency Management Coordinator and I am the City's Emergency Management Director.

The Chief and I conferred on Friday. We examined the COVID statistics published by the County Health Department. Bayou Vista cases were then back into single digits and (like County-wide numbers) were trending downward. Unlike last year a significant number of people in Bayou Vista are now vaccinated.

Accordingly, we made the decision to let people park and open their trunks for trick or treaters this year on the City Lot.

I hope all the participants enjoy themselves safely.
