"Halloween returns to tramatized Pennsylvania town" CNN news
This year Oil City, Pennsylvania will be celebrating the traditional, after dark trick or treating in 16 years. Due to the kiddnapping and murder of an 11 year old girl on Halloween in 1992, the small working-class town has been shaken ever since. To step up securtity of another tragity like this happening again, the town passed a bill saying that for safety's sake, only trick or treating before sundown was allowed. However, a fifth-grade student was able to get enough signitures from Oil City residents that they considered bringing the tradition back again for the first time this year Halloween. Her two main points included the fact that many people are not home during the afternoon to pass out candy, and that halloween decorations are always better at night. There will be extra security around every corner this friday in Oil city, and parents are encouraged to come along. Hopefully this year Halloween will be able to be a tradition the town will carry on for more years.
