• Stay aware of your surroundings, be cautious of other adults who might approach children
• When trick or treating, always walk up to the door with your child

Road Awareness

• Drivers, please slow down and be extra cautious, especially in residential areas during peak trick-or-treating hours from 6 to 9 PM.
• Trick-or-treaters may be harder to see in the dark.

Candy Checks
