7-24-19 fdl city council to consider request to change halloween trick or treating from sunday to saturday

The Fond du Lac city council will vote Wednesday on whether to move Halloween trick or treating from Sunday to Saturday afternoons.  City council president Brian Kolstad says KFIZ radio requested the change because of potential conflicts with Green Bay Packer  football games.  But a review of the schedule shows there have only been two Green Bay Packer football games that have conflicted with Halloween trick or treating in Fond du Lac in the more than 30 years that it has been held on  Sunday afternoons before Halloween, including last October and in 2016.  Trick or Treat hours in Fond du Lac are held between 3;30pm and 5:30pm the Sunday before Halloween, unless the holiday falls on that Sunday.   The council will consider the change at their meeting Wednesday evening.
