CF Trick or Treating 10/25

Cuyahoga Falls Community Trick or Treat is Saturday, October 25 from 6-8pm. This is a fun time of year for children and a great way to meet and connect with neighbors, but there are a few things to keep in mind so everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday:

Parents should always accompany young children door-to-door.

• Only trick-or-treat at homes that are well-lit and never allow children to enter homes for treats.

• Make sure children are highly visible to cars- use flashlights and reflective tape on costumes, and wear light-colored clothing when possible.

• Don’t assume cars can see trick-or-treaters. Stay on sidewalks and if no sidewalk is available, walk on the edge of the roadway, always facing traffic. Cross streets only in  established crosswalks.

• If older children are allowed to trick-or-treat independently, make sure that a parent or caregiver knows their path, agree on a time to be home, and make sure they are equipped with a flashlight.

• Check trick-or-treaters’ candies before they eat them. Remove any loose candy, open packages and choking hazards.

Homeowners and others can prepare for trick-or-treaters by:

• Lighting the path to your door well.

• Keeping paths and sidewalks clear of leaves and debris that could be a fall hazard.

• Keeping your pets inside and away from the door so they do not jump on or scare trick-or-treaters.

• If you will be driving between 6-8pm, use extra caution.
