10 ways to stay safe for Halloween

Marysville is perfect for trick ‘r treating! Just make sure that you do it safely. Here are 10 ways to stay safe this Halloween.

1. Stay in large groups while you’re out and about trick ‘r treating in order to maintain greater visibility.
2. Cross streets as a large group.
3. Glow sticks and reflective gear will also help you be seen.
4. Make sure to carry a cellphone for quick communication—but DON’T text while you’re out walking in the streets.
5. If you are expecting to receive trick ‘r treaters at your front door, make sure to clear their path of any dangerous items/ tripping hazards.
6. Make sure that your kids only go to homes that have a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.
7. Keep jack o’ lantern tools away from kids. Opt for having them draw faces on their pumpkins with markers instead.
8. Stick to sealed candy only. Throw out anything without proper wrapping.
9. Remember, you always have the option of handing out non-candy related items on Halloween, like fruit snacks and/ or coloring books.
10. Make sure that, in all of the one-night-out-of-the-year candy binging, kids also eat a wholesome dinner!
