Halloween Safety Tips for a Spooktacular Night! 🕸️
As Halloween approaches, excitement builds for costumes, candy, and community fun! Whether you're trick-or-treating, attending a fall festival, or hosting a haunted house, safety should be part of the plan. Here are a few key reminders to keep the night festive and safe:
🧛 Costume Check
• Choose bright or reflective costumes to stay visible in the dark.
• Make sure masks don’t obstruct vision—face paint is a great alternative!
• Avoid long or loose clothing that could cause trips or falls.
🚦 Street Smarts
• Always walk on sidewalks and cross streets at corners or crosswalks.
• Carry flashlights or glow sticks to light the way.
• Stay in groups and keep younger children with a trusted adult.
🍬 Treats with Care
• Inspect all candy before eating—look for sealed wrappers and avoid homemade treats from strangers.
• Be mindful of allergies and choking hazards for little ones.
🏠 Home Safety
• Keep walkways clear and well-lit for visitors.
• Secure pets indoors to prevent stress or accidental escapes.
• Use battery-powered lights instead of candles in jack-o’-lanterns.
Let’s make this Halloween a safe and memorable one for all! 👻 Stay alert, have fun, and enjoy the magic of the season.

Make your health a priority—book your mammogram today.
