Oswego – Mayor Billy Barlow announced today that the City of Oswego, in collaboration with the Oswego Speedway, Lighthouse Lanes and Iheart Oswego is hosting a free “drive thru trick or treating” Halloween event at the Oswego Speedway on Saturday, October 31 at 1:00 p.m. The event allows for safe trick or treating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vehicles will be allowed to enter the speedway from City Line Road and circle the track while local businesses hand out candy as cars drive around the track. Attendees must stay in their vehicles. Decorative inflatables, music, and decorations will line the drive through area as vehicles make their way around the track.
“Our Drive Thru Trick or Treating event is another exciting event created by the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau to adjust to social distancing guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Barlow said. “We want to continue providing Oswego’s youth with fun activities and events despite the difficult times we’re living through. I appreciate the hard work from the Youth Bureau staff and the efforts they’ve made to design socially distanced events, and I want to thank the Oswego Speedway and our partners for working together to put this on for our community.”
Oswego City – County Youth Bureau Aide Jennifer Losurdo said, “Our Drive Thru Trick or Treating event will give our children and families something to look forward to at Halloween. Due to COVID-19, some families may not participate in Halloween this year, but our event can provide a safe and enjoyable alternative.”
Tunes for Tots will kick off their annual Toy Drive at the trick or treat event for all the children of Oswego County. This year more than ever our children are in need around our community, so please bring a new unwrapped non-violent toy and help support our children while we sweeten things up in return. “No child should ever go without,” Coordinator of Tunes for Tots Mike Coon said.
Anyone interested in setting up a table and handing out candy at the event should contact Jennifer Losurdo immediately. Additional questions for participants or attendees can also contact Jennifer Losurdo
