Here are some helpful hints to keep you safe while you're out and about on Halloween night:
- Trick-or-treat with a group or go with a parent or a teen-aged brother or sister.
- Wear clothing that is light in color and not too long.
- Add something that glows in the dark or is reflective if it's not already a part of your costume.
- Wear make-up instead of a mask because masks tend to inhibit vision.
- Cross streets at the crosswalks and stay away from cars parked along the streets.
- Be sure all treats are wrapped and sealed.
- Parents should check the candy first to make sure it hasn't been tampered with.
