David Scott, Sidney City Manager, stated “This is one of the hardest things I have had to do as City Manager. The City sponsored Trunk or Treat event is one of my favorite events the City hosts.” Last year, over 1000 kids come out to show off their costumes, and this does not include the adults. By the time you add in adults we are probably closer to 2000-2500 people.
He continued, “As much as I want to host this event, it is just too soon to have that many people in one spot. Last year we did everything possible to keep the line moving in an orderly fashion but even with street markings, posted signage, and several city staff managing traffic flow it is still a big event with several hundred people in the same spot at one time.”
“I apologize for the late notice and I look forward to resuming this event again next year.”
