The City of North Tonawanda has set the period of 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Halloween trick-or-treating hours for Wednesday evening, Oct. 31.
Mayor Arthur G. Pappas offers the following reminders to adults and children:
- No child should go trick-or-treating alone. Always accompany your younger children; older children can go out in groups.
- Tell children to go only to homes and neighbors they know and only to houses with lights on.
- Remind children to walk on sidewalks and be cautious when crossing streets.
- Tell children to turn down all invitations to enter homes, or getting into cars.
- Check labels to see that all costumes and accessories are flame-resistant.
- Make sure all face paints, glues, and glitters are nontoxic.
- Your child's costume shouldn't drag on the ground.
- Don't allow children to carry sharp objects.
- If your child wears a mask, make sure it fits securely and have eyeholes large enough so that they can see.
- Warn children not to eat any treats before returning home (a filling dinner can help).
The city wishes everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.
