• Children 12 and under should be accompanied by an adult.
• Plan your route and share it with family members.
• Carry a flashlight so you can be seen by others.
• If possible, stay in groups and walk on sidewalks. If no sidewalk is available, use the farthest edge of the roadway.

• Only Trick or Treat in well-known neighborhoods and at homes that have a porch light
• Never enter a strange car or home to accept a treat.
• Be cautious of animals and strangers.
