Posted on: October 25, 2022 - 3:07pm
Trick or Treat will take place in Ferguson Township on Monday, October 31st from 6-8pm.
Our police officers will be out patrolling neighborhoods on Trick or Treat night to make sure everyone has a fun and safe evening.
Here are some tips to make sure your kids have a safe time:
- Stick to familiar neighborhoods and well-lit streets and houses.
- Wear bright clothing or reflective tape on your outfit and carry a flashlight.
- Use non-toxic face paint rather than masks to improve visibility.
- Never go into a stranger's house or car.
- Parents should accompany young children.
- Older kids should stay in groups. Set a meeting point and pick up time.
- Wait to eat your candy until you get home and your parents inspect it first.
- Avoid homemade treats - packaged/sealed ones are safest.
