Happy Halloween from all of us at the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance.

From trick-or-treating in Czech Village to neighborhood porch lights across Marion, Hiawatha and the rest of the area, our region knows how to celebrate. Thank you to the local businesses, organizations and neighbors who make this season fun for families.

A few reminders to keep everyone safe tonight:

🎃 Trick-or-treat hours in Cedar Rapids, Marion and Hiawatha are approximately dusk to 8 p.m.
🔦 It gets dark early, so add reflective tape, glow sticks or a flashlight to costumes.
🚗 Drivers, slow down in neighborhoods and watch for kids crossing between parked cars.
🏡 Turn on your porch light if you're handing out treats, and keep walkways clear.
🍬 Check treats before eating, and stay with your group.

And don't forget: clocks fall back an hour early Sunday morning. ⏰

Have a safe and happy Halloween, Cedar Rapids region.

Before you vote, hear from the candidates that will represent you!

"Thank you for providing the opportunity to hear from Sand and Lahn through separate candidate forums. What a refreshing alternative to contentious debates!

While every candidate has their sound bites, these conversations felt authentic and helped answer several questions I had about both candidates."
