Trick or Treat

The ghost and goblins will be out in full force trick or treating for Halloween. Times have sure changed over the years with local events, trunk or treats and festivals but Halloween night is the official night kids go door to door for candy and fun!

Safety should remain your first focus as children are more than twice likely to be hit by a car on Halloween night than on any other day of the year.  Celebrate your little trick-or treaters but remind them to be safe and follow your instructions.

• Avoid masks – they can obstruct vision.
• Cross streets at crosswalks
• Use reflective tap or stickers on costumes.
• Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid a fall.
• Always dress your kids in flame resistant material
• Avoid homemade treats and inspect all candy before consumption.

Halloween is one of the most fun exciting times for families and children, following these tips can assure your family has a safe and Happy Halloween!
