Here are some safety tips from the village of Cary Grove on how to stay safe this Halloween:

• Have a parent or responsible adult go trick-or-treating with you.
• Trick-or-treat in groups in your own neighborhood or an area that is familiar to you.
• Wear a costume that makes it easy for you to walk, see and be seen.
• Wait until you get home to eat your treats. Have a parent or responsible adult check them first and throw away candy or food that is not wrapped or looks like it may have been tampered with.
