Village of Roaming Shores issued the following announcement on Sept. 17.
In light of how many community events have been canceled this year due to Covid-19 we are moving forward with an alternative plan for Halloween 2020. Instead of the traditional door-to-door Trick-or-Treat and after-party at the Clubhouse, this year we will be conducting a Halloween Drive-By!
At approximately 2:30 motorcade participants (candy throwers) will begin to line up on Plum Creek Drive. At 3:00 the motorcade will depart the area and follow a predetermined route through the Village of Roaming Shores. During the Drive-By, participants will disperse treats to all costumed viewers standing along the route. Our costume contest judges will be located at the very front of the motorcade and will judge all of those who are dressed up.
A $20.00 prize will be awarded to each of the 8 best costumes and an additional $25.00 prize will be awarded to the overall best in show costume.
A $20.00 prize will also be awarded to two of the best decorated vehicle or float in the motorcade. The winners of this group will also be judged for the overall best in show.
| Those participating in the motorcade Lineup will begin at approximately 2:30 and will depart at 3:00. It will take approximately an hour to complete the entire route.Motorcade participants are encouraged to decorate their vehicle and/or a pull behind float. | Those participating as viewers: Safety is our first concern, please be extremely cautious and stay off of the roadway until the motorcade has passed.Be sure to have some sort of large sign with your address numbers on it to hold up as the judges pass by. After the drive-by, we will go to the address to distribute prize money and photograph the costume contest winners.Those residing off the per-determined route should make arrangements to utilize a portion of a neighbor’s yard, a vacant utility right-of-way or an RL lot. |
If you are unable to participate in the motorcade, donated candy and monetary donations will be accepted at the RRA office located on RT6 or at the Roaming Shores Village Hall located on Hayford Road during normal business hours. All monetary donations will be utilized to purchase candy to be distributed during the drive-by.
In order to keep our community safe, we request all participants to follow the Governors Covid-19 orders and to practice social distancing.
We look forward to seeing you on the 31st!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the RRA at IT@roamingshores.org or the Village of Roaming Shores Police Department at rspd@roamingshorespd.org
