WIREGRASS: Get ready, Halloween lovers! This year’s spooky celebration falls on Saturday, October 31, giving families, partygoers and trick-or-treaters a perfect excuse to make the most of Halloween night.

And here’s the catch: We won’t have another Saturday Halloween until 2037!

So, consider this your official permission to make it a little extra spooky!

Let the kids stay up a little later, order the pizza, stock up on candy and enjoy those costumes, haunted houses and neighborhood festivities. For the grown-ups, it might be the perfect night for a Halloween party and a spooky drink or two.

There’s another bonus this year, too. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 1, meaning clocks fall back an hour. That gives late-night Halloween revelers an extra hour before the morning comes around!

Halloween on a Saturday is a rare treat, so enjoy the costumes, candy, laughter and memories.

After all, we’ve got 11 years to recover!
