Trick-or-Treat Called Off in Ridgewood, Glen Rock
Quashed Halloween tradition a result of still dangerous road conditions in both towns.
The dangers throughout the state continue to be extreme, so Governor Christie has declared there will be no trick-or-treat on Wednesday. It will be celebrated at a later date, still yet to be determined, the governor said.
The village and borough are abiding by the governor's warning.
"With the safety of children our first priority, we are standing by the governor's directive, and the Glen Rock Police Department will be out making sure that residents do the same," the Borough of Glen Rock wrote in a statement Tuesday.
