Mother Nature is playing a nasty Halloween trick on area trick-or-treaters.

Because of predicted hazardous weather anticipated on Thursday, Oct, 31, the Village of Bluffton trick-or-treat is being moved to Saturday, Nov. 2, from 6-7:30 p.m., according to Dennis Gallant, Bluffton mayor. 

"We appreciate everyone's understanding and adjusting to the change as we strive to provide a safe environment for our children to enjoy," said Rick Skilliter, Bluffton police chief.

In addition to community trick-or-treating, the Bluffton Public Library will accept Halloweeners.

Also, the Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm Street, Willow Ridge and Maple Crest, both on Augsburger Road, will accept Halloweeners from 6 to 7 p.m.

The Bluffton Icon will be at Maple Crest taking photos of Halloweeners this year.

Village of Beaverdam trick-or-treat is also rescheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2, from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., according to Roberta Beemer, mayor.

Due to the rain and high winds forecasted for Thursday evening, Pandora Mayor John Schlumbohm has changed Pandora’s trick-or-treat night from Thursday to Saturday from 6 to 7 pm. The Fire Department party will follow beginning at 7 p.m.
