Safety Tips
1. Buy costumes and wigs labeled "flame resistant."
2. Wear shoes that fit well and do not use masks that interfere with eye sight.
3. Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
4. Never use decorative contact lenses; they can result in severe eye infections.

6. Hold a flashlight or “Glow Stick” while trick-or-treating.
7. Always walk and don't run from house to house.
8. Stay on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic. Look for cars when walking by a driveway.
9. Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
10. Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses. Never accept rides from strangers.
