Celebrating Halloween and Día de los Muertos

Wondering what you and the kids can do for Halloween and Día de los Muertos this year, now that COVID-19 has put a halt to activities like door-to-door trick-or-treating?

Check out this cute video! It includes helpful guidance and ideas for fun alternatives to help keep our spirits up -- and is also available in Spanish. Thank you, Marin County Public Health!

By the way... Are you decorating with fake spiderwebs this Halloween? If so, keep an eye out for your feathered friends! This poor hummingbird’s feet got all tangled up in someone's webby décor the other day. Fortunately, his rescuers knew to cut the webbing instead of trying to pull the bird free, which would have broken his tiny toes. Please don’t use fake spiderwebbing! Or if you or your neighbors do, please check it at least twice a day for entangled animals. Thank you, WildCare for the heads up!
