It\u2019s Halloween, which means that Hayden Homes communities\u00c2\u00a0around the Northwest are bustling with the energy of excited trick-or-treaters. Here, our team provides a few friendly reminders to help you and your neighbors stay safe this evening.
\n
\nWear Something Reflective
\nHalf the fun of trick-or-treating is exploring your neighborhood after dark, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be prepared with an article of reflective clothing or a glow stick in your ensemble. Being visible means you are exponentially more safe when scurrying along the sidewalks from house to house.
\n
\nSet a Route
\nBefore heading out for your trick-or-treating expedition, plan a route and estimate a timeframe. This gives everyone \u2013 little ones escorted by parents and teenagers exploring on their own \u2013 a good understanding of where one another will be and what time they should regroup. One person in every group should also bring along a cell phone for good measure.
\n
\nFollow The Lights
\nChildren should never, ever enter the home of a stranger and should be aware to visit only clean, kempt, well-lit front porches on this day especially. Even in their exuberance, little ones should wait to ring a doorbell until parents are within \u201cindoor voice distance.
\n
\nTreats are for Later
\nInstruct trick-or-treaters not to eat (or nibble on) anything they\u2019ve collected until the treats have been examined by an adult. Throw away anything unwrapped for good measure. Even better, look into programs to send a portion of acquired candy to troops overseas!
\nAbove all, use good judgment and communication with all family, friends and neighbors. Have a safe and happy Halloween!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
