Halloween will be celebrated on Sunday, October 31st
from 6:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M.

With Halloween approaching, our children will soon be on our roads trick or treating, some with parental supervision and some without.  Halloween falls on Sunday night.  

With this in mind, I would like to share some preventative measures with you to help make a fun outing a safe one for all. 

·       Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only

·       Adults should accompany young children

·       Be prepared by carrying a flashlight

·       Stay within the neighborhood and only visit homes you know

·       Watch for traffic

·       Make sure your child can see clearly through his or hers facemask; use cosmetics to create fun or scary faces.

·       Wear light-colored clothing short enough to prevent tripping; add reflective tape to the sides, front and back of costume.

·       Avoid hard plastic or wood props such as daggers or swords; substitute with foam rubber that is soft and flexible.

·       Keep costumed children away from pets.  The pet may not recognize the child and become frightened

·       Examine all candy before allowing your child to consume it        

We want everyone, children and adults alike, to have a safe and happy Halloween.
