The Fun of Halloween


Halloween is a time for costumes, candies, and community spirit. But amidst all the fun, safety should be our top priority.


Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treating

  1. Visibility: Ensure costumes have reflective materials or add reflective tape to make your little ones visible to drivers.

  2. Well-Fitting Costumes: Costumes should fit well to prevent tripping hazards, and masks should allow for clear vision.

  3. Supervision: Always accompany young children and set a designated route for older kids.

  4. Cautious Crossing: Remind kids to use crosswalks and follow traffic rules.


Safety at Halloween Parties

  1. Responsible Hosting: If you're hosting a Halloween party, ensure safety measures are in place, such as well-lit areas and clear walkways.

  2. Designated Drivers: Encourage guests to have designated drivers or arrange for alternative transportation if alcohol is served.

  3. Candle Alternatives: Opt for battery-operated candles or LED lights in your decorations to avoid fire hazards.
