The ghosts and goblins are once again getting ready to have
some spooky fun throughout Lee’s Summit and South Kansas City. Here at Dave
Cross Buick GMC, because we treat your family like our family, we want to share
our 13 top tips for a “S.A.F.E. H.A.L.L.O.W.E.E.N.”
S. Only use
short, soft, and bendable swords, knives, and other accessories.
A. Always walk
with a group or an adult. Don’t venture out alone.
F. Fasten
reflective tape on costumes, bags, and accessories to make it easier to be
seen.
E. Examine treats
before you eat. Look for choking hazards and evidence of tampering.
H. Hold a
flashlight to make you more visible to cars on dark streets. Don’t run, but
walk to houses, and be careful crossing streets.
A. Always make
sure make up is safe. Test a small area first before applying. Remove all
makeup to avoid eye and skin irritation.
L. Look both ways
when crossing the street. Hold an adult’s hand and use marked crosswalks
whenever possible.
L. Lower your
risk of possible eye injury. Do not wear decorative contact lenses!
O. Only walk on
sidewalks. Or, if there’s no sidewalk, walk on the far edge of the road facing
traffic so you can see who’s coming.
W. Wear masks,
shoes, and costumes that fit correctly to avoid tripping and impaired vision.
E. Eat treats and
candies that are store-bought or factory-wrapped. Don’t eat anything that looks
homemade, unless it’s from someone you know like a neighbor or relative.
E. Enter homes
only with a trusted adult, and only if it’s someone you know, like a friend or
relative. Don’t stop at dark houses and never ride with strangers.
N. Never walk
close to candles, luminaries (bags with candles inside of them), or any open
flame. Always wear costumes that are flame-resistant.
