East Tugalo Street cancels trick-or-treating event, Airport hosting HalloWing Fling

As a reminder, the annual trick-or-treating event on East Tugalo Street has been canceled, due to the risk of COVID-19.

According to Toccoa City Commissioner and East Tugalo Street resident Gail Fry, the residents of East Tugalo Street from Paul Anderson Park to Boulevard have decided not to celebrate Halloween this year.

The street will not be closed to traffic as residents will not be passing out candy.

Fry says since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp are discouraging large gatherings, the residents felt it would be irresponsible to host the event this year.

For many years the street has passed out candy to thousands of Trick-or-Treaters, but, Fry says, the health and safety of the community comes first.

But not all Halloween festivities got the cut this year.

According to Toccoa-Stephens County Airport Manager Amber McCall, the Airport will be hosting a HalloWing Fling on Saturday, October 31, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.

The HalloWing Fling will include a Trunk-or-Treat event featuring airplanes of local pilots.

McCall says costumes are encouraged.
