Trick-or-treating in Boone County runs Saturday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m.
WLWT published the countywide schedule Oct. 7 as part of its regional trick-or-treat guide, compiled by reporter Matthew Dietz. The listing covers Boone County as a single entry, giving Florence, Union, Burlington and Hebron families the same two-hour window.
The City of Union separately confirmed the Oct. 31, 6-to-8 p.m. schedule on its official website. Florence, Burlington and Hebron have not yet issued separate announcements, though all fall within the county schedule.
Union residents with questions can contact City Hall at 1843 Bristow Dr. or call 859-384-1511.
