🎃 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun and Safe Night of Trick-or-Treating 🎃

Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year — full of costumes, candy, and community fun! As you and your little ghouls head out around Oxford and Calhoun County, here are a few simple safety tips to keep the night both spooky and safe:

1️⃣ Stay Visible: Add reflective tape to costumes or carry glow sticks and flashlights to make sure drivers can see you after dark.
2️⃣ Plan Your Route: Stick to familiar neighborhoods with well-lit streets and sidewalks. Avoid cutting through yards or alleys.
3️⃣ Check Costumes: Choose face paint instead of masks for better visibility, and make sure costumes fit well to prevent tripping.
4️⃣ Cross Safely: Always use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing. Remind kids to stay alert and not dart between cars.
5️⃣ Candy Check: Before digging in, inspect treats and toss anything that’s unwrapped or looks suspicious.
6️⃣ Drive with Care: If you’re behind the wheel, slow down and keep an eye out for excited trick-or-treaters.
