The Watersmeet Police Department recommends the following for parents allowing their children to trick or treat this year.
- Trick or Treat will be held on Friday, October 31, in Watersmeet.
- The recommended hours for Trick or Treating are between 3:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Try to Trick or Treat during daylight hours.
- Children should wear light colored clothing or have reflective tape on their clothing so they can be easily seen. Also, carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp, if possible.
- Young children should be accompanied by a parent or adult.
- Children should Trick or Treat only in their neighborhood, on well lighted streets.
- Visit homes with porch lights on, which welcome Trick or Treating.
- When children Trick or Treat with friends, have them inform you of their route and when they plan to be back home.
- Parents should insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten. Fruit should be washed; unpacked items should be discarded. If any treat looks suspicious, contact the Watersmeet Police Department.
Remember that children look forward only to the good things about Halloween, therefore, parents should prepare and alert their children to the possible dangers too.
Happy Halloween!
