Halloween is this Thursday, so that means there will be plenty of spooky events occurring this week. Children are recommended to only approach houses that have a porch light on. It is also recommended that families practice caution when navigating streets.

Those wearing dark clothes should carry glow sticks or light-colored items as they will be easier to see by drivers.
