Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!!  From Team Milam...

Team Milam wishes you all a safe and Happy Halloween!  Be sure to keep you precious ghouls and goblins safe. 

Here are some safety tips from the US Attorney's Office:

TIPS FOR TRICK-OR-TREATERS

• Carry a flashlight with you for visibility.

• Always stay in a group with an adult!

• Never enter a stranger’s house or car for a treat!

• Always walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the grass away from

the street.

• Look both ways before crossing the street and if you are wearing a mask take it off.

• Wait until an adult can check your candy before you eat any of it.

• Only accept treats from neighbors or friends you know!

TIPS FOR PARENTS

• Plan costumes that are bright and reflective! Consider adding more reflective tape to

costumes + trick or treat bags. Always carry flashlights.

• Masks can limit or block eyesight, consider makeup or cut the mask eyeholes bigger

so they can see. Remind children to remove their masks to cross the street!

• We recommend that children do not use props like guns, knives, or swords.

However, if they are used, make sure they don’t look real!

• Clear hazards from your property. Remove obstacles such as flower pots and garden

hoses, so children won’t trip on them rushing from house to house.

• Remind your children not to eat the candy until an adult has checked their treats!

• Your child’s school may be having a Halloween party. Call the School and ask.

• Please explain to children the difference between tricks and vandalism.

TIPS FOR BUSINESSES/MOTORISTS

• Heighten your awareness and be cautious of purchases that may have the potential

to cause personal injury or property damage – such as paint ball guns or large
quantities of eggs.

• Drive slowly and cautiously through your neighborhoods. Remember children may

not look before crossing the street.
