Alternatives to Trick or Treating
Hi everyone!
Are any of you aware of alternatives to door to door trick or treating going on in the Lancaster/Rock Hill/Waxhaw areas?
My children are 3 and 16 months and we are looking for something safe and fun for them. I just don't feel safe with door to door , which saddens me greatly.
Thank you all so much!!

These events are so much fun for your children and safer than the door to door trick or treating. Of course if you know the doors you are knocking on there is no problem. Just beware of strange neighborhoods. We have a few little ones that we look forward to ringing our door bell.
Even if you don't go to church or happen to be a total stranger at a particular church don't hesitate to take your children, you will be welcome at any of the places listed and your children will have a fun time.
