Halloween a day early? Lexington, other Central Kentucky towns move up trick-or-treating.

Lexington joined other Central Kentucky towns in moving trick-or-treating to Tuesday because of rain and high winds expected Wednesday.

The city announced the decision to move trick-or-treating to 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday after many nearby towns and counties did the same.

“Safety is our first priory,” according to the city’s news release.

Richmond, Berea, Winchester, Danville, Harrodsburg, Mt. Sterling, Versailles, Midway, Scott County, Franklin County, Jessamine County, Harrison County and Bourbon County authorities have announced trick-or-treating will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Washington County towns Springfield, Mackville and Willisburg have moved their trick-or-treating to 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Lawrenceburg has moved its trick-or-treating to Friday from 5 to 7 p.m.

“Heavy rains are likely,” in a storm system Wednesday, WKYT meteorologist Chris Bailey said. The amount of rain will depend on how strong the system is, Bailey said, but he said one model suggests wind gusts of greater than 40 to 50 mph are possible.
