Good morning, Wichita Falls.

Several Wichita Falls organizations are hosting trick or treat events during Halloween week, with Community Healthcare Center (today, 6:00 p.m., 200 MLK Jr. Blvd.) and Faith Lutheran Church (Friday, October 31, 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m., 1437 Southwest Parkway) offering safe, fun festivities for children.

Officials from TxDOT and Wichita Falls Police Department warned that Halloween night is especially dangerous for trick-or-treaters because children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car on this night and last year 89 pedestrians were killed, urging drivers to use headlights, drive slower, and stay alert while advising parents to dress kids in bright costumes for better visibility.

Grubbs Mazda of Wichita Falls now includes Herb Easley Mazda—part of a plan to expand services at its new location on Central East Fwy.

General Manager Miah Bradbury said the transition kept key personnel from the former operation and will boost service offerings for locals.

Texas Flaming Grill is serving hungry customers fast casual eats downtown at 1308 Holliday St.—the restaurant offers burgers cooked to order, gyros, Philly cheesesteaks, and crispy French fries with dine-in, drive-thru, and pickup options.

A recent GasBuddy survey of 13,114 Texas stations shows that average gas prices increased by 3.5 cents per gallon last week, with the cheapest station selling gas at $2.09 a gallon yesterday — prices remain 10.1 cents lower than a month ago and 1.1 cents lower than last year.

Voters are weighing in on Proposition 15, a constitutional amendment that would give parents primary decision-making power and might impose new oversight and standards on Wichita Falls ISD if passed—one local parent said the ballot wording is unclear as early voting runs through Friday ahead of Election Day on November 4th.

USPS marks its 250th anniversary with a new historical coffee table book — Delivering for America: How the United States Built a Nation, written by former National Postal Museum director James H.

Bruns. The book features rare photographs, documents, and artifacts that show how the Postal Service connected American households and businesses since 1775 and is available at select Post Offices and online.

The Wichita Falls Health District inspected restaurants and food stores from Sept.

28 to Oct. 14 to check that food is safely stored and prepared. Some locations scored perfectly while others had issues with food temperature and storage — several problems were fixed during inspection — and the district plans to keep monitoring to stop foodborne illness.
