Trick-or-treating fun in Butler Township will take place from 6-8pm on Thursday, October 31st. Whether the youngsters in your life are getting ready to be spooky, scary, silly or sweet characters for Halloween, take a minute to remind them of these safety rules:

• Advise older kids to walk in groups.
• Make sure younger kids are accompanied by an adult.
• Review routes your child will be using.
• Remind kids not to enter houses or cars to retrieve treats.
• Have kids go out while still light out and use recommended community times.
• If driving to neighborhoods, park your vehicle and walk with your child to reduce the vehicle traffic in the neighborhoods.
• Before they go out, talk to your kids about the potential impacts of vandalism and pranks.
