[OMS_MANAGERS] Halloween on Main Street?

[Terry Chance]

The Dalles Main Street also has a very large Trick or Treat downtown.  I
reached out to our city manager to offer a possible plan.

Close 2nd street (our main street in town)  to give more space
for social distancing. Have one way flow on each side of the street.
Require everyone to wear a mask (could be costumes)  that covers the face.
I reached out to our local Lions club for help to direct foot traffic and
to give cues as to social distiansing. They have happily stepped up to help
with this event.    We would work with each store that wants to participate
and have someone outside so no one is entering the business and have the
person wear gloves and/or use tongs to hand out candy.

Our city manager hasn't said no, she wants to revisit a little closer to
Halloween to have a better idea of our counties Covid-19 numbers.

Hope this helps.
