3. That all children or groups of children taking part in Trick-or-Treating should be accompanied by a responsible older person who can protect the children from harm.
4. That Trick-or-Treating be conducted during reasonable hours, preferably between early evening and 8:30 p.m.
5. That those who choose not to participate in Halloween indicate so to others by leaving their porch lights off; and, that participants respect the wishes of those who choose not to participate in Halloween by not visiting homes where porch lights are off.
6. That children Trick-or-Treat in their own neighborhoods, visiting only familiar homes.
7. That parents and/or guardians inspect collected treats carefully before they are consumed by children.
8. That suspicious activities or collected treats that show signs of tampering be reported immediately to the Holly Springs Department of Public Safety.
