Are you, your children or grandchildren getting involved in Halloween this year? Stuff and The Press newspaper would love to hear from you.
We are hoping to find out how things may be a little bit different for Halloween this year due to Covid-19, and to see how people are still pushing through with their celebrations.
Will you be wearing a face mask with your costume? Or offering hand sanitiser to trick or treaters? Whatever it is you're up to, we'd love to hear about it.
Please comment below or email jake.kenny@stuff.co.nz if you are celebrating Halloween this year and would like to share how.
Thanks in advance folks!

Christchurch-based ElectricAir has brought the aircraft to the city to highlight zero exhaust-emission technology.
Launched at Christchurch International Airport on Friday, the plane will be used for trial flights, training and will be available for hire to qualified pilots.
The Pipistrel Alpha Electro can fly for an hour, plus half an hour reserve, which is the ideal duration for training flights.
Operators can recharge the aircraft, which will operate from both Christchurch and Rangiora, in under an hour, using a dedicated charger at Christchurch International Airport.
Along with the low-cost maintenance, the aircraft is about 70 per cent quieter than normal aircraft.
The project has been supported by a $40,000 grant from the Christchurch City Council Innovation and Sustainability Fund and a $19,000 grant from the Christchurch Agency for Energy Trust.

The Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust has officially launched its Te Ahu Pātiki project to bring the 500ha block into public ownership.
It has started an online fundraising campaign to purchase a swathe of land on the Christchurch-facing side of Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.
Trust manager Suky Thompson said the total cost of the project would be about $1.5 million, both to finalise the purchase by July 2021 and to start turning it back into native bush.

Land in Akaroa’s inner harbour looks set to be used for a $63 million irrigation scheme to discharge treated wastewater.

A hearings panel has recommended Christchurch City Council go ahead with a plan to plant 40 hectares of native trees in Robinsons Bay and Takamatua and use treated wastewater stored in two new large storage ponds to irrigate them.
The council will consider the recommendation and make a final decision in December.
Akaroa’s wastewater is currently sent into the harbour via a 100 metre pipe, but the practice is considered “culturally repugnant” by Ngāi Tahu and about five years ago Environment Canterbury refused to grant the council another long-term consent.

About 180 yellow wheelie bins have already been removed and the council has sent final warnings to another 1450 residents.
To get the bins back, they will have to pay $97.65 and sign a statement promising to abide by the rules. Their bins will be monitored to make sure they keep that promise.
Christchurch City Council has spent close to $1.5 million sending almost 1500 truckloads of contaminated material from yellow bins to landfill since May. That equates to about 41 per cent of all yellow bins.
Do you agree with council's strict recycling approach? Let us know below.
