Narberth News and Notes

Halloween Guidelines

10/26/2017

 
Picture
Kids:
  • Don’t be a jerk.
  • Be nice to the younger kids.
  • Mischief is OK. Property damage and theft are not.
  • Teens are welcome, but if you want a treat, there should be at least some attempt at a costume.
  • The proper greeting is “Trick or Treat”. Not, “How many?”
  • Say thank you. Every time.
Adults:
  • Trick-or-treating is done after dark on the evening of October 31 - Halloween. The kids will survive staying out on a school night.
  • Regardless of your toddler’s bedtime, your neighbors will not be ready for you before 5pm.
  • If you are not handing out treats, turn off the outside light.
  • Don’t drive unless you absolutely have to.  Our kids are out there in the dark, wearing masks and excited.  The whole thing lasts for a couple of hours once a year.  You can get milk some other time.
  • Don’t put out an unattended bowl of treats unless you don’t care what happens next.
  • You must give, if you expect to receive. Either Mom or Dad stays home to give out candy. Take turns. We all have kids, too, and they look just as cute as your precious snowflake; your family’s house shouldn’t be dark when our kids get there.
  • Be happy that kids from other neighborhoods come to yours. That’s a good thing; it means you have a wonderful neighborhood that other families find to be friendly and safe.  Get some extra candy and count your blessings.
  • Go big, if you can. You don’t have to do it for every baby in a pumpkin outfit - the fun size will do just fine for them. But the big kids will totally love it if you also stock some full-size snickers bars just for them. Try it and see.
  • No raisins.

P.S. This list is in fun, and every “rule” has exceptions. (A single Mom can’t be in two places at once, and a non-verbal kid may just doing the best he can, etc.) It’s important to remember that none of us are charged with being "rule" enforcers. Halloween is all about having fun, so be careful not to give ANYONE a hard time. Don’t ruin your night or someone else’s because they don’t celebrate the way you want them to. Happy Halloween!

​Starting Monday October 16, Kehoe Paving will begin milling and overlay operations in Narberth’s downtown which is the final step in the utility construction sequence. Beginning on Haverford Ave at Avon Road, crews will repave the entire width of the road. The project will take two days to complete.

On Monday, Haverford Ave from Avon Road to Forrest Ave and Narberth Ave from Haverford to the Narberth Avenue bridge will be completed. On Tuesday, Haverford Ave from Forrest to west of Essex Ave will be milled and repaved. Painting crews will restore all markings in the roadway.
 
Work will begin at 8am and end by 5pm on each day. During this time the road must be closed to all traffic and all vehicles will need to be removed. The Narberth Police Department will attempt to contact the owners of any vehicle left on the road and the Borough will tow any vehicles that can’t be immediately removed to another location in the Borough.
