DO:

Carry a flashlight
Go in groups with at least one adult
Go to houses with the lights on
Make sure shoes fit and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping
Use common sense. If something feels wrong, it probably is.
Dress for the weather. October brings cooler weather and sometimes windy and rainy conditions.

DON'T:

Wear masks or any costume that would interfere with vision or walking
Go into a home of someone you do not know
Eat any candy or other items until it has been checked over by an adult

As always, it is the parents’ decision as to whether children should participate in the activity.

Children may stop at any Centerville Police cruiser or Washington Township Fire truck for a special treat, courtesy of Bill’s Donuts.

Some home maintenance reminders: have a clear path for visitors, trim low hanging branches, and move flowerpots or anything else that might cause someone to trip or fall.

For consistency purposes, many area communities agreed to hold the event 6 - 8 p.m. on Oct. 31. For more information, call Centerville City Offices, 433-7151.
