Horay, Halloween Day 2009 is Here! The weather is drizzly on the east coast but the temperature outside is pretty fair. Halloween falls on Saturday this year, providing trick-or-treaters even more opportunity for attending Halloween parties and events during the day. Here are some precautions or safety rules for trick-or-treating!

• If your children are younger, please go with them door to door.
• Older children should have buddies or friends to go with.
• Make sure children wearing masks can see clearly.
• Children wearing dark costumes should attach reflective tape or stickers to make themselves more visible, at night.
• Use a flashlight and make sure it isn’t on this recall list.
• Inspect your children’s candy after they get home and before they eat it.
• Adults should refrain from drinking and driving, if they are attending Halloween parties.
• Be safe and have fun!
