Several towns in Carroll County, including Ossipee, Moultonborough, Tuftonboro and Effingham, asked their residents to postpone Halloween celebrations this year to Saturday, Nov. 2, following a scary forecast that predicted high winds and rain on Thursday, Oct. 31, the traditional night for trick-or-treating. Police said the reasoning was that they couldn’t guarantee youngsters’ safety. Meanwhile, Conway, Jackson and Bartlett went ahead with their planned events, despite the wet and wild weather.
