Happy Halloween, York County! 
It’s Halloween night, and we hope everyone enjoys a fun and safe evening of trick-or-treating! York County recommends trick-or-treating for children ages 12 and under from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight (10/31). If you’re handing out candy, be sure to turn on your porch light to welcome little ghosts and goblins. Parents and caregivers—make sure your trick-or-treaters can both see and be seen by using flashlights, glow sticks, and reflective gear. Enjoy the festivities, watch out for pedestrians, and have a spooktacular and safe Halloween!
