Mother Nature vs. Halloween

The score is currently Rain-1, Halloween-0 but things could change for eager trick-or-treaters if the weather clears. Check sponsor organizations’ websites and/or Facebook pages for updates.

HUNTINGTON VILLAGE

With steady rains falling since morning and a 70-percent chance of rain during the after-school hours, Mother Nature may force Trick-or-Treaters indoors this year. As of 11 a.m. Thursday, the annual Halloween parade in Huntington Village, sponsored by Huntington Council members Mark Cuthbertson and Joan Cergol, is still on, according to the council office. Check the town website at huntingtonny.gov for updates. If it’s on, meet at 4 p.m. in front of the Huntington Post Office on Gerard Street, then parade to Main Street. Village merchants will pass out candy to trick-or-treaters, courtesy of the Huntington Village Business Improvement District. Make sure to stop by ProHealth Dental at 35 Gerard Street, and get a free toothbrush and floss for your little ghosts and goblins, enter to win raffle prizes, and meet the kid-friendly staff.

NORTHPORT VILLAGE

Halloween Hayrides sponsored by the Northport Chamber of Commerce have been postponed, according to the chamber’s website. A 19-year tradition, the hayrides in Northport Village Park are rescheduled for Sunday, Nov. 3, noon to 4 p.m. Hayrides are $5 per person.

GREENLAWN

Halloween on Broadway, sponsored by the Greenlawn Civic Association, is on – rain or shine. “Bring your umbrellas,” reads an update on the association’s Facebook page. Merchants displaying the Halloween on Broadway flyer in their window will be passing out treats.
