The governor said this morning that it’s up to local officials to decide whether to go ahead with Halloween trick-or-treating tonight. “That’s a call for them to make,” he said. “Kids like Halloween. I’m anxious for the state to be on a trajectory to return to the greatest normalcy it can. If your community is safe and you’re comfortable having Halloween, I’d encourage you to have Halloween.”
He said that at the Governor’s Residence on Hartford’s Prospect Avenue, he’ll have about 1,100 candy bars on hand tonight for young ghouls and goblins. “I will be open for business,” he said. “I am returning to the closest thing I can get to normal on Halloween.”
