KEEP THE BOO… SKIP THE BOO-BOOS!
Adams County, let’s make Halloween scary for the right reasons. A skeleton on the porch? Perfect. A porch on fire? That’s a little too realistic.
Ditch the candles! Use battery-operated candles or glow sticks in your jack-o’-lanterns. Nobody wants their pumpkin “extra crispy.”
Keep costumes and decorations away from heaters, flames, and anything hot. Stop, drop, and roll is NOT a Halloween dance move.
Carry a flashlight, add reflective tape, and make sure masks don’t block your vision. Even vampires need to see where they’re going!
Drivers: Slow down and watch for little monsters. They’re powered by candy and don’t always use their turn signals.
Use sidewalks and cross at corners. Look both ways—your superhero cape does not come with traffic protection.
Have an adult check treats before kids dig in. Parents may claim a “candy inspection fee.” We cannot confirm whether two peanut butter cups is the official rate.
Keep steps and walkways clear, and secure pets away from the door. Your dog does not need to personally investigate all 47 dinosaurs.
Have a SPOOK-tacular, safe Halloween! Let’s leave the flashing lights to the decorations.
