Happy (almost) Halloween! As the big night quickly approaches, the Traverse City Police Department would like to remind the citizens of Traverse City who are handing out treats to please turn porch lights on promptly at 5:00 p.m. and turn them off promptly at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 31. Got a pooch who can't handle all the excitement ... or doorbell ringing? The Dog House, 1032 Woodmere, tells The Ticker that it's offering extended doggy daycare hours on Halloween night: 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. 231-421-5573.
Sunset today is at 6:30. It is usually pretty dark by 7pm. The good ol' days live on, don't worry. The time is just a recommendation to help keep kids and streets a little safer.
