Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

No, Halloween isn’t canceled.

But don’t expect every home to be handing out candy on Saturday night.

Mocksville’s North Main Street will be open, so motorists are asked to be extra careful on Saturday evening. Some merchants in downtown may offer treats for the kids, and a DJ will play live music that evening.

There are some organized events planned for this season, so take advantage of one or more if you desire.

• Davie Little League is hosting a trunk or treat and home run derby at the Davie Youth Complex off Farmington Road near the schools, starting at 5 p.m.

Green Meadows and Blaise Baptist churches are sponsoring the trunk or treat at the Zach Wright Field.

The home run derby will be for adults and children ages 12 and older. The entry fee is $100, a tax-deductible contribution going to the youth comple. Bring your own pitcher or one can be provided. To register, email Jerry Riddle at Ridyourout@yahoo.com.

Special guest will be Atlanta Braves pitcher Jeremy Walker of Advance. The right hander spent time in Atlanta during the 2019 season, but missed the 2020 season because of an injury. “He’s actually going to be on site during the home run derby to encourage and support,” Kelly Wilson said.

• A Mega Trunk or Tret will be held Saturday from 6-8 p.m. at Fork Baptist Church, 3140 US 64 E., Mocksville. Each participant is asked to stay in their car, and each child will receive a bag of candy. Traffic will enter via Cedar Grove Church Road.
