Safety Tips:


Always look both ways before crossing a street, an intersection, or a driveway.


Walk on well-lit sidewalks.


Reflective clothing or costumes are strongly recommended, as they help make trick-or-treaters more visible at nighttime.


Candy should be thoroughly checked before allowing children to consume it.


Accompany young children at all times while trick-or-treating.
