It's finally Halloween! While the weekend was filled with many activities, tonight is the night for trick-or-treating. To keep our kids safe, it is important to stay safe and be aware of your surroundings. Follow these tips to be sure of a great Halloween experience.
- Only visit well-lit homes. While those spooky, mysterious homes might be appealing to the adrenaline lover, it is better to be safe than sorry!
- Make sure that costumes don't include accessories that could pass for a weapon
- Be respectful and say "thank you"
- Watch out for cars and don't cross the road unless completely visible
- Try not to cut across yards as it is always best to stay on sidewalks!
- Watch open flames from jack-o-lanterns. Catching a costume on fire would be the worst.
- Check all candy before allowing your children to eat it
