Trick-or-Treating in Westfield Postponed Thanks to Sandy

For the second year in a row Halloween has been postponed due to extreme weather conditions.

Last year a surprise snowstorm crippled the Northeast and this week the aftermath of Huricane Sandy has left Westfield residents with many fallen trees and downed wires, making it unsafe for trick-or-treating.

On the Town of Westfield's Twitter account, at approximately 6 p.m. Tuesday evening, the Town issued this message: "Due to the lingering effets of the storm and safety concerns, Halloween Trick or Treat activities are postponed until further notice."

Yesterday, Westfield Police Chief David Wayman cited the Union County State of Emergency that remains in effect until 6 p.m. this evening while asking residents to stay at home for their own safety.
