A Few Halloween Safety Reminders!
Whether you're attending an event or heading out for neighborhood trick-or-treating, remember to carry a flashlight, use crosswalks, and choose costumes that allow for clear vision and comfortable movement.
Parents and caregivers should check children's treats before they're enjoyed, and drivers are reminded to slow down and watch carefully for trick-or-treaters.
Happy Halloween to all our friends and neighbors!
We hope that everyone enjoys the celebrations, creative costumes, neighborhood decorations, and traditions that make Halloween such a fun time of year. And while you're out, don't forget to stop by some of New Milford's local shops, restaurants, and businesses!
