This Monday children of all ages will dress up in fun and scary costumes to celebrate one of the biggest holidays of the season.
And, while everyone enjoys trick-or-treating or any other outdoor evening activities, please follow safety tips as children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year.
Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:
- Wear reflective clothing and carry a flashlight to see and alert others of your presence
- Young children should never go trick-or-treating alone
- Walk on side of the street and avoid running from house to house
- Only visit well-lit homes
- Inspect all candy and treats before eating or giving them to others
- Discourage the use of sharp accessories that can be harmful
- And always look both ways before crossing the street

I wish you and your family a safe, enjoyable Halloween!
