Five Halloween tips for the Homeowner
This weekend is Halloween, time for those little ghosts, goblins, cowboys, and princesses to appear at your door. Here are some helpful tips to make your yard safe for trick or treaters.
1) Make sure your yard is clear of things that could possibly cause a child to trip such as garden hoses, flower pots, lawn ornaments etc.
2) Keep your pets indoors or in a secure backyard, so they are not frightening small children or in harms way of cars.
3) Keep your walkways well lit for your safety as well as your little guests.
4) Healthy food alternatives are things like fruit roll ups, cheese or peanut butter cracker packs, boxes of raisins, or microwave popcorn packs.
5) Don’t want trick or treaters coming to your door? The best thing is to leave your porch lights off.
