Halloween Trick-or-Treating To Be Observed On Wednesday, October 31st

The City of Lakewood will observe Halloween Trick-or-Treating between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 31, 2011. 

The City offers these safety tips for parents, residents and drivers: 

• Parents should encourage their trick-or-treaters to be especially careful after sunset. If escorting their children, parents should carry a flashlight as an additional safeguard. 

• Residents giving out candy and treats can help prevent accidents by reminding children to be especially careful crossing streets and to walk up and down steps, instead of running. 

• Halloween night drivers should be especially vigilant. Motorists should drive more cautiously and be prepared to stop.
