IN THIS ISSUE Happy Halloween Election Day Supervisors' Meeting Montco Pikes Park & Rec Events Meeting Schedule ‌ ‌ ‌ Have A Safe And Happy Halloween Halloween is here. The Township wishes everyone a safe and Happy Halloween. Here are some safety tips from the National Safety Council. Costume Tips All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant. If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags, or give them glow sticks. Opt for nontoxic Halloween makeup over masks, which can obscure vision; always test makeup in a small area first to see if any irritation develops. Remove all makeup before children go to bed to prevent skin and eye irritation. Trick-or-Treat tips A responsible adult should accompany young children on the neighborhood rounds. If your older children are going alone, plan and review a route acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time children should return home. Teach your children never to enter a stranger's home or car. Instruct children to travel only in familiar, well-lit areas and stick with their friends.
