Trick-or-treating is scheduled over the course of two days in the Starke and Pulaski County areas and police urge parents and children to be safe.

On October 31, trick-or-treating is in Winamac from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, and in Monterey from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET. In Starke County, North Judson will have trick-or-treating from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CT. The hours in Hamlet are from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CT, and in Knox from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT.
Troopers from the Indiana State Police ask parents to ensure children have a flashlight, glow stick, or reflective material on their costume so they can be seen clearly.
Children should always be accompanied by an adult or use a buddy system. Have a plan if groups get separated. It is recommended that children trick-or-treat at homes that have an outdoor light on. They should never enter the home of a stranger. Treats should be inspected by adults before being consumed.
Drivers should slow down and travel with caution during trick-or-treat hours.
