  • Don't let your kids trick or treat alone. Make sure they are supervised by an adult, or if they are older that they are with a group of kids.
  • Use reflective tape on costumes or trick or treat bags so your kids are visible to drivers.
  • Only go to homes with a porch light on.
  • Check all candy for tampering before you let your kids eat it. Don't accept homemade treats unless they are from someone that you know.
  • Walk with a flash light.
  • Don't go into houses of people you don't know.
  • Make sure costumes are secure and don't contain any tripping hazards.
  • Walk on sidewalks if available, otherwise walk towards oncoming traffic.
  • Pay attention to where you are walking, not your cell phone.
  • Have a planned meeting place with your child in case they get lost.

Happy trick or treating. I can't wait to see all the pictures of your adorable little ones on Facebook and Instagram. And remember, if your kids come home with way too much candy, I am more than happy to take donations at the radio station.
