Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill will be throwing a Halloween party despite the coronavirus pandemic still wreaking havoc with daily life.
According to Justin Vitek, the owner of the Hills and Dales Ice House in San Antonio, Texas, Hill came to him with the idea of taking advantage of the holiday falling on a Saturday, and since the NBA is not in season, thought it apparently made sense to have a Halloween party.

"My guy G Hill said ‘I never get to celebrate Halloween because we’re in season, so I want to throw a party.’ I said, ‘Say less,’” Vitek said, according to MySanAntonio.com.
Hill, who played for the San Antonio Spurs in 2011, will be at the party, which will have a costume contest awarding $500 to two winners wearing the “sexiest” and “best” outfits.

"As long as they do not crowd or move away from their table," Vitek said.
