Leave it to this town (and probably several others) to totally wreck a perfectly good holiday and to protect children by potentially putting them in danger. Good work, Owensboro. Halloween is October 31. Not October 30 or whatever day you deem Halloween to be.
Some half-baked idea to observe Halloween on Saturday because Sunday is a church day followed by a school day is pretty ignorant if you ask me. Not that you officially did, but since you appear to be reading this shit, then you sort of did.
Why not leave the holiday as it is and let parents be parents? If they want their kids in church on a Sunday evening, then by all means, take the kids to church. If they're concerned about the next day being a school day, then how about taking them Trick-Or-Treating early with an eye on the clock and their children's bedtime.
Saturday tends to be one of the days with a higher percentage of drinking and driving. So sure, let's let children mill through the streets in search of a sugar buzz when others may have been seeking a buzz of a more adult nature and happen to be behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Makes perfect sense to me.
