Trick or Treat Safely This Halloween

Happy Halloween! Today, we want to remind everyone to have a fun and safe night.  Here are some important tips to keep in mind while trick-or-treating: 
 Be Visible:

• Wear bright or reflective clothing
• ​Carry a flashlight or glow sticks so drivers can see you

Stay Safe on the Streets:

• Trick-or-treat in groups whenever possible
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks; always look both ways before crossing the street
• Avoid running across streets or between parked cars

Check Your Treats:

• Only eat factory-sealed candy
• Inspect all treats at home before eating

Costume Safety:

• Make sure costumes fit well to prevent trips and falls
• Use face paint instead of masks that can block vision
• Choose non-flammable materials

For Pet Owners:

• Keep pets indoors to avoid accidental scares or injuries
• Make sure pets are comfortable if you bring them outside.

Let’s make this Halloween a safe, happy, and spooky night for everyone!
