The Franklin Street Events Associations has canceled their annual Trick-or-Treating due to the spread of COVID-19.

A week ahead of Halloween, the association made the announcement on their Facebook page.

The decision comes as Vanderburgh County continues to see an escalation of Coronavirus cases. On Friday, the area added 118 new cases and reported the 61st death in the community.

In the past, crowds of families have come out to the event; taking part in Trick-or-Treating and other Halloween activities offered by the area businesses.

FSEA says the event will be back "bigger and better in October 2021!"

The association is also canceling their monthly meetings through the end of the year.

The cold front has come and gone and with it our threat for Severe Weather. However, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect portions of the Tri-State through the remainder of the evening ahead. In fact, there is a possibility that some of the thunderstorms we see between now and 9PM or so could produce small hail and wind gusts in excess of 40 mph. Anyone planning on attending a football game this evening should make sure an umbrella or poncho is on hand to keep you dry and should anticipate at least some rain delays to occur. The rain should finally exit east of the Tri-State between 10PM and 12AM; it's around that time that wind speeds will again pick up some steam - our northwesterly winds are expected to gust as high as 35 mph at times overnight.
