(KNZA)--The Brown County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging Halloween safety; and in doing so, Sheriff John Merchant says his office will continue it’s annual Trick or Treat Night.

According to a release from Merchant, that will happen Thursday evening from 5 until 8, at the Sheriff’s Office, located at 709 Utah Street, in Hiawatha.

According to Merchant, his staff will hand out Trick or Treat bags in front of the office, instead of inside the lobby, as has been done in years past. The bags will contain safety information, pencils, stickers, candy, and orange safety glow sticks.

Merchant said the event provides an opportunity for his office to interact with parents and children from Brown County.
