Happy Halloween Trick or Treat!

Its almost time for the ghosts and goblins to take over the streets and neighborhoods of every town across the US. We have celebrated the month of October with Fall Festivals, Pumpkin patches and various events to wonderful season falls brings – not to mention the wonderful fall foliage we have experienced here in the South. Children are more than twice likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year. .  It’s time to celebrate our little trick- or- treaters but safety first.

• Incorporate glow sticks in your child’s costume and use reflective tape or stickers on their candy bags
• Costumes should be fire-resistant
• Avoid masks – they can obstruct vision
• Cross the street at crosswalks and corners
• Remind kids no eating treats until they get home and their stash is checked

Enjoy this time with your family – Halloween is a magical time of the year for kids – and remember you can always raid their candy bag while they are sleeping!

Happy Halloween
