The Ishpeming Township Ball Park, dugouts and bathrooms will be closed effective immediately. This is due to an increase of property damage, littering and graffiti that has been occurring.

If anyone has any information as to the party(s) responsible for the damage, please contact

2020 Trick-or-Treating October 14,2020
The Ishpeming Township is issuing the following recommended guidelines on trick-or-treating in the Township of Ishpeming. Trick-or-treating is not cancelled; however, we strongly recommend residents adhere to safe practices as defined by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Center for Disease Control when trick-or-treating or distributing candy. Official trick-or-treating hours in the Township of Ishpeming will be on Saturday, October 31st from 4-7 p.m.
Top recommendations for trick-or-treating:
· Stay home if you or a member of your household is sick.
· Talk with your children about safety and social distancing guidelines and expectations and only participate in one-way trick-or-treating.
· Trick-or-treat with the people you live with.
· Avoid congregating in groups around houses.
· Wear a face mask covering both your mouth and nose. A costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth mask.
· Only go to houses with safety measures in place.
· Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol, especially before eating or after coughing/sneezing, and as soon as you return home.
· Check out halloween2020.org to learn about alternative Halloween activities if you do not wish to take your children trick-or-treating
Top recommendations for passing out candy:
· Do not hand out candy if you are sick.
· Turn your yard/porch light on to indicate you are participating.
· Wear a face mask covering BOTH your mouth and nose.
· Position a distribution table between yourself and trick-or-treaters.
· Distribute candy on disinfected table to eliminate direct contact.
· Wash hands often.
· Consider handing out candy in an open space where distancing is possible, rather than from the front door.
Opting Out
It is perfectly acceptable if you don’t want to participate in passing out candy. To assist trick-or-treaters with respecting your wishes, please turn off your yard/porch light and consider posting a sign saying you are not participating this year. We would like to encourage anyone who is participating to turn on their porch light to help differentiate between houses that are and are not participating.
