Twelve-year-old McKenzie Gallasso was deciding between dressing as a witch or a werewolf when the phone rang Monday with bad news: Halloween had been canceled.Police in herHartfordsuburb ofSouth Windsoradvised families to call off trick-or-treating because of the October storm that downed power lines and left three-quarters of the town without electricity. Moncler Jackets“I was upset because I really wanted to go trick-and-treating and get candy,” said McKenzie, who added her mother did not want her to go out anyway because of the snow. “This year I’ll have to eat candy from my mom.” Moncler CoatsThe storm that spooked the Northeast with a blanket of wet, branch-snapping snow was forcing cities and town to discourage or postpone Halloween festivities — decisions that did not sit well with legions of ghosts, goblins and princesses who were already homebound due to widespread school cancelations.Connecticut Gov.

He urged mayors and other municipal officials to make decisions themselves about Halloween celebrations. Moncler Online“No amount of candy is worth a potentially serious or even fatal accident,” Malloy said.Two days after the nor’easter charged up the East Coast, many towns said they were simply too many hazards including snow-clogged sidewalks, slippery surfaces and the possibility of more falling tree limbs.

It’s like changing the date of Christmas,” he said.In thevillageofSleepy Hollow, N.Y., which trades on its connection to Washington Irving’s Gothic tale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” a haunted hayride was postponed from Saturday to Sunday because of the storm. The rescheduled event was canceled because of “broken limbs and branches that are still hanging from trees along the route,” Mayor Ken Wray wrote on the village website.Elsewhere in Sleepy Hollow, the “Horseman’s Hollow,” a haunted trail with a Headless Horseman theme, was closed Sunday, as was “Irving’s ‘Legend,’” a dramatic retelling of the story.Those two attractions, which were not scheduled to be open on Halloween, are run byHistoricHudsonValley, which also operates the very popular “Great Jack
“We don’t want to usurp the role of parents, but this way here a public declaration that we’re going to postpone it is more helpful to the parents and the residents,” Jarjura said.
Some parents were finding ways take their kids trick-or-treating, even if it was canceled in their hometown.
Doreen Kelley, ofFoxborough,Mass., said that when she heard the town had called off trick-or-treating, she decided to take her son to her friend’s neighborhood inBellingham, about 20 minutes away.
“My son was disappointed, but I just called my friend and we are going there so he’s fine now,” Kelley said.
