LAURIUM — Halloween is right around the corner and many traditional activities may look different this year due to COVID-19 precautions.

As a means to provide families with some holiday fun, and ensure safety, Aspirus invites the community to a drive-through trick-or-treating event in front of its Laurium clinic on Halloween morning this Saturday. Employees will be dressed up and handing out free goodie bags from 10 a.m. to noon to the first 100 families.

“Joy is one of our values at Aspirus and it’s our goal to spread some joy for families in our community with this event,” said Jenn Jenich-Laplander, regional communications and engagement lead for Aspirus. “With Halloween looking different for some this year, we wanted to do something special for children and families.”

Participants must enter the parking lot from Osceola Street and will be directed to the clinic canopy entrance. For more information, contact Jenn Jenich-Laplander at 337-6541. Participants are asked to please stay in your vehicle and wear a cloth face mask when interacting with Aspirus staff. Costumes are encouraged.
