Halloween Safety Tips!

With Halloween being just over a week away, check out the following safety tips for a FUN and SAFE evening!

• WALK Safely

  • Look both ways before crossing the street.

  • Whenever possible, cross the street at a corner/crosswalk.

  • Pay attention to traffic. NEVER walk out in front of a vehicle.

• COSTUME Safety

  • Attach reflective tape to your child's costume and treat bag/bucket to make them more visible after dark.

  • Keep a flashlight or glowstick with you while out trick or treating to be more visible.

• CANDY Safety

  • Though it's tempting, wait until you get home to eat any candy from your Halloween adventures so an adult can inspect your candy.

  • Adults - inspect commercially wrapped treats for signs of tampering like unusual coloring, pinholes, tears in the wrappers, etc. If found, discard and do not eat.
