Halloween will be celebrated in Marlinton Friday, November 1, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Expect lots of kids to be out on the sidewalks.
Most will be in the streets or crossing the streets, from one side to the other. Some will be unsupervised or with a large group of people.
Injuries can occur on this night. It is always good to plan ahead.
Try to dress children in bright or reflective clothing.
Instruct children to not taste test any candy or treats until after they get home.
Parents or guardians should inspect treats, to make sure appropriate treats were handed out during trick or treat.
If there are any problems or if you see tricks getting out of hand Halloween night, call 911.
We hope for a safe evening.
