Great Pumpkins! Norwalk, Westport, Weston, New Canaan, Wilton, to postpone Halloween
Monday, October 31st, 2011WESTPORT – In what is thought to be an unprecedented move, Norwalk and surrounding towns have postponed Halloween.
Norwalk, Wilton, Weston and Westport have all ‘postponed’ Halloween to Saturday due to the past weekend’s winter storm.
Even Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has said that he would turn around children coming to the governor’s mansion looking for candy.
Bucking the trend, the resilient residents of Darien will hold Halloween as planned, according to that town’s First Selectman’s office.
Mayor Richard A. Moccia on Monday afternoon asked that Halloween trick-or-treaters postpone their candy gathering until Saturday night.
“We’re going to ask everyone to postpone Halloween until Saturday,” Moccia said. “You still have several thousand people without power. There still might be some tree limbs on sidewalks, so thinking about the overall safety, I think postponing til the weekend might be the right thing to do.”
Moccia told The Hour that he planned to put the message out to residents via the city’s Notify Norwalk system.
In a statement released by Westport’s fire marshall it asks that residents go trick-or-treating on Nov. 5.
“After a meeting of town officials and local emergency management personnel it was determined that due to recent snow storm and power outages, it would not be safe to proceed with trick-or-treat activities normally held tonight for Halloween,” reads the statement. “The possibility of falling tree limbs, slippery surface conditions, and electrocution hazards remain very real throughout town, and the situation is as bad or worse than the recent damage caused by tropical storm Irene.”
In Weston, officials say roads are just too dangerous to risk it.
“Following discussions with the Police Department, and in order to provide a safe environment for Trick or Treating, we are postponing Halloween activities until Saturday, Nov. 5,” reads a statement from Weston. “Many of our streets may still be without power and with downed lines, making conditions unsafe.”
In Weston the Historical Society’s Scare Fair will take place on Saturday from 12-4 p.m., and the Ragamuffin parade will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Hurlbutt South House field. Westport has also postponed Halloween activities until Saturday.
The town of New Canaan posted on the following message on its website: Due to the extensive damage done by Saturday’s storm, the Halloween night, door to door, trick or treating has been postponed to Saturday evening, November 5, 2011. Due to the cancellation of the annual Halloween parade, the Town Hall and the Outback Teen Center will be hosting an indoor trick or treat on Halloween day from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
