The pitter-patter of those holding broomsticks, wearing capes and carrying candy bags rustling in the breeze are all part of the spooky-good fun you can expect on Halloween night. Trick-or-treaters decked out in costumes galore go door-to-door looking for sweet treats.
- When preparing youngsters, be mindful of these suggestions:
- Make sure costumes fit properly and are flame resistant.
- Treats should be carefully examined before children eat them.
- Children should only enter homes if they are with a trusted adult.
- Bring a flashlight, glowstick or another lighting device.
- Walk in groups whenever possible.
- Walk in the direction of road traffic—preferably on the sidewalk.
Motorists are reminded to be aware of trick-or-treaters. Pay frightfully close attention to the roadways to ensure things can stay spooky, fun and safe. n
