Tricks to Make Halloween a Treat

There are no set hours for trick-or-treating on Thursday, Oct. 31. Drivers should be aware of extra pedestrians in neighborhoods. Clear yards and sidewalks of obstacles, keep homes well-lit inside and out, and report any suspicious activity to police. Kids should walk in groups and young children should be accompanied by an adult. Costumes should be flame retardant and short enough to prevent trips and falls. Carry flashlights or glow sticks and affix reflective strips to costumes and bags. Remind children not to eat treats until they get home. Check all treats and throw out anything that is not factory-sealed.
