Happy Halloween Everyone!

I wanted to share some common-sense practices that can make Halloween or Fall Harvest or Treat n Trunk events safer and fun!

Walk, slither and sneak on the sidewalks, NOT the streets.

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 (remember to put reflective tape on bikes, skate boards and brooms too!)

Plan your route and share it with your family. Have an adult go with you.

Carry a flashlight to light your way.

Keep away from open fires and candles. (Costumes can be extremely flammable)

Visit homes that have porch lights on.

Accept your treats at the door and never go into a stranger's house.

Use face paint rather than mask or items that will cover your eyes.

Be cautious of animals and strangers.

Have a grown up inspect your treats before eating, and don't eat candy if the package is already opened.

Small, hard pieces of candy are a chocking hazard for young children.

There are lots of places to go Trick or Treating this year. Area Church's are having Fall/Autumn Harvest or Treat or Trunk. The mall is passing out candy. The City of Lewisville is having Autumn Extravaganza on Oct 25th admission is 1.00 and they will be having a costume contest for different age groups. So check your local area and see what safe and fun events are in your area.


Got to fly!
