Street Safety:

• Stay Visible: Use glow sticks, flashlights, or reflective tape on costumes so drivers can see you.
• Stay on Sidewalks: Walk on sidewalks where available and avoid walking on the street. Cross streets at crosswalks or corners—never between parked cars!
• Accompany Little Ghouls: Make sure young children are always accompanied by an adult while trick-or-treating.

Candy Safety:

• Inspect Treats: Check all treats before eating them. Avoid anything with open or torn packaging.
• Allergy Awareness: Be mindful of allergens if you or your child has allergies. Stick to treats you know are safe.
• Homemade Treats: Only eat homemade treats from trusted friends and neighbors.

Costume Safety:

• Dress for the Weather: Make sure costumes are warm or cool enough for changing fall temperatures.
• Choose Safe Accessories: Avoid sharp objects, and make sure masks or costumes don’t obstruct vision.
• Comfortable Footwear: Choose comfortable shoes to help little ones enjoy the night without slips or falls.

For Homeowners Welcoming Trick-or-Treaters:

• Light Up Pathways: Make sure your porch and walkways are well-lit and free of any obstacles.
• Keep Pets Secure: Halloween can be exciting for pets too, so keep them safely indoors or away from the front door to prevent any accidental escapes.

A Friendly Reminder:

Have a fun, safe, and memorable Halloween, Fonda!
