Trick-or-treat night will be unofficially observed in Coplay 6-8 p.m. Oct. 30, it was reported.

Although borough council has not sanctioned the event, many children and their parents likely will be visiting households that have porch lights on.

It was mentioned the official approval was not given from the borough because of the coronavirus risk. The kids and their parents are asked to abide by the virus protocols.

Since there are no official acknowledgments for the trick-or-treat event, there may even be some children out in costume Oct. 31 as well.

Borough police will also be on patrol for the safety of boys and girls.

The borough’s three churches are planning their annual Thanksgiving ecumenical service for 7 p.m. Nov. 22 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 18 S. Third St.

The service alternates between the town’s three churches: St. Peter Roman Catholic Church, Redeemed Christian Church of God and St. John’s Lutheran Church. The service has been held annually for more than three decades.

The choirs of the three churches will not perform this year because of the virus. There will be instrumental religious music instead.
