Have a Happy — and Safe — Halloween
Thanks to the American Red Cross for their easy-to-follow tips to keep our little ghosts and goblins safe on Halloween night:
° Older kids should plan their route and share it with their family — and always go with a friend, not alone. Younger kids should always be accompanied by an adult.
° Always walk on sidewalks, not in the street.
° Look both ways before crossing the street to check for cars, trucks, and low-flying brooms.
° Cross the street only at corners.
° Don't hide or cross the street between parked cars.
° Wear light-colored or reflective-type clothing so you are more visible.
° Carry a flashlight to light your way.
° Keep away from open fires and candles. (Costumes can be extremely flammable.)
° Visit homes that have the porch light on.
° Accept your treats at the door and never go into a stranger's house.
° Use face paint rather than masks or things that will cover your eyes.
° Be cautious of animals and strangers.
° Have an adult inspect treats before eating. And don't eat candy if the package is already opened.
° Avoid giving young children small, hard pieces of candy. They’re a choking hazard.
Have fun Wednesday night!
P.S. Here's Matt with our good friend Nancy Klosowski. (Can you tell Nancy is a lot of fun?)
