JACKSONVILLE, Fla — Some parents may be hesitant about allowing their kids to go trick-or-treating in the middle of a pandemic, but an Ohio dad has gone viral for what some believe may be the safest way to pass out candy.
Here’s the Buzz: Andrew Beattie posted to his Facebook page that he will use a "candy chute" to hand out treats this year.
The 6-foot long invention stretches from his front porch down to the sidewalk, to ensure proper social distance is maintained. At the bottom of the chute, kids will hold their buckets or bags as the candy drops inside.
Beattie says the chute took about 20 to make and is made of a shipping tube, spray painted orange and decorated with duct tape.
He says he hopes his idea allows people to keep the Halloween spirit alive this year.
