Many children and adults enjoy celebrating Halloween! Whether you’re a trick-or-treater, a parent, a homeowner, or driving that evening, it’s essential to prioritize safety. Here are five suggestions to ensure you, your trick-or-treat guests, and pets stay safe:
**𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬**: Make sure costumes are bright and visible. Adding reflective tape or glow sticks can help trick-or-treaters stand out in the dark.
**𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬**: Plan a safe route for trick-or-treating that avoids busy roads. Stick to well-lit areas and always use sidewalks when available.
