The most spooktacular time of the year is almost upon us! Halloween is a favorite holiday with most kids, and being safe when trick-or-treating will help ensure that it stays that way for parents and kids alike.
Glenview has set their trick-or-treating hours for this year, and they are from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Halloween day, Wednesday, October 31st. This way, it will still be light out during most of the trick-or-treating time, helping kids and their parents to stay safer while out in the neighborhood having some fun.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you go out for this yearly holiday ritual:
1. Be sure an adult goes along when kids go trick-or-treating. Even though it won't yet be dark, there are still ways kids can have problems so be sure they are supervised by an adult.
2. Plan your route before you hit the streets. Don't go too far away from your home base. It's best to only trick-or-treat at homes where you know the people that live there.
3. Don't go up to an unfamiliar house if their outside light isn't on. Most communities have an unwritten rule that houses without lights probably do not want trick-or-treaters stopping by, so please honor their wishes and walk on past.
4. Be sure to only cross the street at corners. No crossing between cars, where it's hard for drivers to see little tricksters lurking.
5. Tell your little ghosts and goblins to please don't eat the candy until you, Mom or Dad, have checked it out to make sure everything's OK. And remember--if in doubt, throw it out.
6. When deciding on a costume, remember that make-up rather than a mask works much better for allowing the wearer to see where he or she is going. Plus it's really more comfortable. A rubber or plastic mask can get very warm and uncomfortable after walking around the neighborhood for a few minutes.
