It’s almost time to once again think about…time. We’re all forced to think about it when we change the time on some of our clocks twice a year, due to our switch to or from Daylight Saving Time.
The Borough of Fountain Hill will host a drive-thru trick-or-treat event at the Fountain Hill Police Department building in lieu of the traditional, door-to-door candy extravaganza.
In celebration of all things autumnal, many Hellertown businesses have decorated their facades with hay bales, mums, cornstalks, scarecrows and other festive symbols of the season.
In the Southern Lehigh area, as elsewhere, Halloween celebrations this year will be different as result of the coronavirus pandemic. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be opportunities for spooky-scary fun, however.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed much about life since it began, but the desire to celebrate the changing of seasons hasn’t gone away, and fall 2020 is now in full swing. Check out our list of fall and Halloween attractions and take note of safety measures they may have in place before you visit.

If you’re planning a Halloween costume party or trip to a haunted house or a traditional Trick-or-Treat night in your community, hold up. The Centers for Disease Control wants you to rethink those activities, due to their potential to spread the novel coronavirus.
For the second year in a row, the pride of place and fun generated by the annual Saucon Valley Spirit Parade in Hellertown will be missing come late October. However, Trick-or-Treat is still planned for Saturday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.
A rain-soaked forecast for Trick or Treat night caused some anxiety for local parents in the days leading up to the event. Ultimately, the weather turned out to be dry–and exceptionally mild–between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m., but as a precaution, large-scale indoor Trick or Treat events were planned in and around Hellertown, possibly for the first time.
Could 2019 wind up being the year in which both the Saucon Valley Spirit Parade and Trick or Treat–the two main community events in the Hellertown area each Halloween–were rained out?
