Friday is Halloween, and as the little goblin or ghoul in your life heads out trick or treating, make sure they are doing so safely.
“Stick with friends or trusted neighbors,” said Elizabethtown Police Department Public Information Officer John Thomas. “There is safety in numbers. Dress for safety. Make sure costumes and candy bags are reflective, that hems don’t drag, and masks and shoes fit well.”
Thomas says as far as you can, stay on sidewalks, use crosswalks, and avoid cutting through yards or alleys.
Folks in cars should also do their part.
“Drivers, please slow down and stay alert,” Thomas said. “Watch for kids along roads and driveways. Understand they’re excited. They may forget to look both ways before entering the roadway.”
Thomas says when it comes to candy, when in doubt, throw it out.
“It’s very unlikely to be an issue, but don’t eat candy that’s unwrapped, tampered with, or looks suspicious,” Thomas said. “We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween night.”
In Cave City, trick or treating runs from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Trick or treating in Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Hodgenville, Leitchfield, and Radcliff will be from 5 to 8 p.m. In Brandenburg, trick or treating runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Trick or treating in Cloverport, Hardinsburg, and Irvington will be from 5 to 9 p.m.
