Some Halloween events around Lewiston and Auburn are going ahead with major changes while others are taking the year off. Parents are split on deciding what's best for their kids and the state's top health official says it's too soon to give advice.

While Halloween is up in the air for many people this year, the annual event at Wallingford's is moving ahead cautiously.

Traditional trick-or-treating is considered “higher risk” by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, but officials say there are ways to celebrate Halloween with only “moderate” risk, including one-way or socially distanced trick-or-treating where candy is left out or lined up for kids to pick up without touching anyone else.
