CHARLOTTE, N.C. — COVID-19 has forced many families to cancel Halloween this year.
For others like the Meade family, it allowed them to get a little creative.
“It was just sort of one of those brainstorming sessions and we thought, 'oh let’s do digital projection, and then wait, how can we deliver candy in a safe way', and we started thinking about a vending machine," Chris Meade says.
Meade wrangled his entire family and together they began building the candy dispenser back in September.
“We love Halloween," he says. "Halloween is our holiday and we just weren’t going to let anything cancel that, so we had to get creative and creative for us was figuring out how to sanitize the drop zone and deliver candy in a touches and contactless way.”
For the entire week leading up to Halloween, the family has been dispensing candy from their "TranslyVending Machine".
Families can walk up and text a number that will notify the machine to sanitize and dispense out candy.
Caroline Sharp brought her kids out on Halloween night so they could see this unique machine.
She actually knows the family and appreciates the effort to make sure kids in their Charlotte neighborhood can still experience the holiday.
“I think something normal like Halloween, even though it's kind of a fun crazy night, it’s just for their spirits," she says.
While it's not the typical Halloween they are use to, Chris and his family hopes their machine inspires other families to find ways to get creative.
“You can build a machine," he says. "We ordered all of these things online and put them together here, and anybody can do this so if you have an idea, you have a passion to build things, let Halloween be your inspiration.”
