FOR SPECTATORS...

If you plan to line the route with your littlest witches and wizards to watch the witches fly by and to collect candy here are some tips..

 

1. Stay on the grass/sidewalk. DO NOT GO INTO THE STREET!! If you were to look South at the South Loop Security house, all adults/children should line the streets on the right side of the road. Lining both sides of the road is a safety hazard! TO RECEIVE CANDY YOU MUST BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD!!

2. Encourage children to wait until all witches have flown by to collect candy.

3. Witches fly around the entire loop, South Loop to North Loop. If you want to see the witches twice, line the streets starting on the South Loop and then move to the North Loop. Golf carts make this transition quick and easy if you are able to ride in one.

4. Bring a bag or bucket to collect candy.

This is a festive community event that allows everyone of all ages to be involved. SJSO will be directing traffic. If you are not participating in the event and are driving during this time please be cognizant of adults/children on the roads and sidewalks.
