Due to health and safety guidelines currently in place, the event cannot be hosted. However, the Monmouth Business Association has come up with some week-long socially distanced alternatives so residents and local businesses can participate in the fun and spooky holiday.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Business decorating contest: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Businesses of Monmouth are encouraged to decorate their establishments in family friendly Halloween decorations; all decorations needed to be up by Oct. 26. The business will be judged by a panel of judges, and the community will vote for People\u2019s choice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Halloween costume contest: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, residents can upload pictures of their costumes to Instagram under the hashtag #monmouthhalloween.
