Dear Friend,
Halloween is right around the corner, and while it’s great to have fun with friends and family, we also need to remember to be cautious and stay safe.
Please remind your children of a few tips before they head out trick-or-treating:
- Avoid trick-or-treating alone and always walk in groups or with a trusted adult;
- Eat only factory-wrapped treats and do not eat anything homemade from strangers;
- Look both ways before crossing the street;
- Walk, don’t run from house to house;
- Carry a flashlight to help you see and to help others see you; and
- Only visit well-lit homes and never enter a home without a parent’s permission.
If you’ll be driving on the road, please use extra care and be mindful of the increased pedestrian traffic. For more trick-or-treating safety tips, click here.
I hope you all have a fun, safe and enjoyable time. Happy Halloween!
Sincerely,
State Rep. Wendy McNamara
