Watch for Trick-or-Treaters Oct. 31 10/29/08

Trick-or-treaters will be out and about Friday, Oct. 31. So Town leaders ask for your help in promoting safety and courtesy on Halloween.

Trick-or-treating ought to occur in early evening, wrapping up before 8 p.m. Residents who do not want to participate are asked to leave their porch lights off. Trick-or-treaters should respect those residents' wishes by not approaching their homes. It's safest for children to remain in their neighborhoods, visiting only the homes of people they're familiar with.

Trick-or-treating should be restricted to children under the age of 13. A responsible older person ought to accompany them. Teenagers are asked to refrain from trick-or-treating. Those who do should not wear masks.

Costumes should not obstruct children's vision and need materials that motorists can see easily in the dark.

Parents or guardians should inspect candy before children eat it. Report tampering or other suspicious activity to the Holly Springs Police Department at (919) 557-9111.

McGruff the Crime Dog will hand out candy at the Police Department from 5 - 6 p.m. on Halloween.
