(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - With inclement weather in the forecast for Halloween, area cities and towns have decided to move Trick-or-Treat.
The Halloween forecast for Thursday calls for rain and heavy wind gusts, which has prompted the City of Greendale and City of Lawrenceburg to move trick-or-treat to Saturday, November 2 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Lawrenceburg Mayor Kelly Mollaun tells Eagle Country 99.3 that the decision boiled down to a safety issue.
"I know this may be an inconvenience for some, but we hope that people can understand the reason that we are doing this to look out for the kiddos. We want them to be safe and we want them to enjoy it. said Mayor Mollaun. "I thank Mayor Karsteter for reaching out. Very agreeable about moving it."

The parade will line up at the old US Bank lot at 6:00 PM, with the parade starting at 6:30 PM and concluding at the Civic Club building.
