Helpful Halloween Tips to Share with everyone;

Instruct your children never to enter the home of a stranger.
Do not allow your children to go out alone.
Instruct your children to stay in their own neighborhood and trick or treat at homes that have porch lights on.
Children should wear costumes made of light colored material. If the costume is made of dark material, attach reflective tape to the costume to increase nighttime visibility.
Children and adults should carry a flashlight or bright colored glo sticks so that motorists can see them.
