Halloween Fun!

Halloween Safety Tips:
Safety is always in the back of minds for parents and grandparents this time of year. Here is a quick check list for your little trick or treater!

1. Use a light source (flashlight, glow sticks, or reflective tape) on your excursion
2. Check all candies and packaging prior to letting your little ones consume their treats
3. Always have an adult accompany the little one to prevent tricksters from ruining their evening
4. Never approach a darkened home. Most people who partipate in the festivities will keep the lights on!!
