🎃 Get Ready for a Spooktacular Time! 🎃

Hey there, residents of the Village of East Canton! Halloween is just around the corner, and we have some exciting news for you. The Halloween Trick or Treat in the village will be taking place on October 29, 2023, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Get ready for a frightfully fun time with your friends and family!

Trick or Treat Safety Tips for Children:

1. Stay in Groups: When trick-or-treating, it’s always safer to go in groups with friends or family. There’s strength in numbers, and it’s more fun too!
2. Use Reflective Gear: Ensure that your child’s costume has reflective elements or add reflective tape to make them more visible to motorists, especially as it starts to get dark.
3. Carry Flashlights: Equip your little ones with flashlights or glow sticks to light up their path and make them easily noticeable.
4. Check Candy: Before indulging in any treats, always inspect the candy. Discard any unwrapped or suspicious-looking items.
5. Respect Traffic Rules: Teach your kids to obey traffic rules when crossing streets and only use designated crosswalks.
6. Plan a Route: Plan your trick-or-treat route in advance, and let someone know where you’ll be going.

Motorists, Be Extra Vigilant:

To all the motorists in our village, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring a safe Halloween for our children:

1. Drive Slowly: Please drive at a slower pace, especially during the trick-or-treat hours, and be prepared for sudden stops.
2. Stay Alert: Keep a watchful eye on the streets, as children may dart out from between parked cars.
3. Avoid Distractions: Put away your mobile phones and avoid distractions while driving through the village.
4. Respect Crosswalks: Yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks.

Let’s make this Halloween a memorable and safe experience for everyone in the Village of East Canton. We can’t wait to see all the creative costumes and smiling faces on October 29th! Have a spooky but safe, Halloween!
