Trick or Treat

Halloween is on Sunday, October 31st. Here are some Trick or Treating Tips to ensure a safe and fun night.
1. Costumes should be light in color and reflective (or use reflective tape).
2. Costumes should be comfortable for walking.
3. Costumes should be short to prevent trips, and other bumps in the night.
4. Carry a flashlight to see and be seen easily.
5. Use facial make-up instead of masks.
6. Walk with a parent or older sibling.
7. If a parent can't walk, Trick-or-Treat in a group.
8. Cross at corners. Never cross between parked vehicles or at mid-block.
9. If there are no sidewalks, always walk facing traffic and on or close to the shoulder of the road.
10. Stay close to home and only on streets and at homes you are familiar with.
11. Never enter a stranger's house or car.
12. Before eating those yummy treats, have a parent check them in a well-lighted place.
13. Instead of going door-to-door, consider having a Halloween costume party with treats, games, music, scary stories and much more.
