In an eleventh hour decision, Oak Bluffs selectmen rescinded their vote to close Vineyard Avenue to vehicle traffic for trick-or-treaters on Halloween night amid concern about the growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past week.

So many adults are irresponsible for their personal behavior and sadly, making many children’s activities....including school, so much more dificult. WEAR A MASK!

Well the 2 adults in that photo are NOT wearing masks!!!!! That doesn't help.

Let the kids enjoy Halloween!!! If you don’t want to participate stay at home.

Well I will have treat bags at 112 Barnes.

All summer long tourists shopped and dined there.as well as locals. Walking up and down the street. And now your denying our kids to do that very same thing??? Bs

go up- island and haunt ‘hawksswaynee’ (sp?) that’s where the ghouls are....

Parents, take your kids trick or treating for Halloween. Covid is an illness primarily concerned among aged and elderly, particularly those with pre-existing comorbidities. The instance of a child dying from covid is remarkably rare. Cases are rising, yes, it is inevitable, but deaths are way down.

Seems like a Simple solution kids stay in yard dressed up and ppl drive and toss candy at them parade style.... 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am perplexed as to why traditional trick-or-treating is being treated as a Halloween nonstarter. There are plenty of ways to enjoy Halloween involving costumes, candy, and small groups of fiends in the comfort of your own neighborhood. We are lucky to have the Williams St ordeal. Not many places get to have entire neighborhoods shut down for a night just for trick or treaters. We had to roam the streets full of cars and people with reflective costumes within or own neighborhood when I was a kid. I think playing it safe is always best, but lord knows our kids aren’t going to like it. Tough call, but in the spirit of sacrificing one year so we can go back to normal...I’m for it.

First of all 90% are wearing masks to start. Second if u scare them properly theyre 6' away anyway. Get a sling shot/water balloon launcher. 🤷‍♂️ either way have fun

My mom is there , trick or treating !!

Trouble is -- will anyone be giving out candy this year?

Ha ha...kids wearing masks...candy is wrapped ...let it happen

Of course "THE FUN POLICE " town

Come to Edgartown or I'm going to eat all the candy I bought!

There will be no more toys in Sombertown!!!!! Pathetic!!

The "leaders" are not really leaders,,,

A wise choice.
