Trick or Treating Tips

1. A parent or adult should always accompany younger children.
2. If older children are going alone, plan out the route to take and set a certain time to be home.
3. Only go to homes with a porch light on.
4. Never cut across yards or alleys.
5. Stay in a group and communicate with each other where you are going.
6. If possible, carry a cell phone with you.
7. Remain on well lit streets.
8. Never enter a stranger's home for a treat.
9. Doesn't hurt to carry a flashlight.
10. Cross streets in a group. Oncoming cars can see you better.
