TRICK OR TREATING 2024
Trick or Treating in Hopewell Township will be Thursday, October 31st from 6pm-8pm. Stay safe and have fun!
Safety: Only go to houses with their porch light on, and never go inside a home or get into a car.
Visibility: Wear reflective tape on your costume and bag, and bring a flashlight or glow sticks.
Crosswalks: Use crosswalks or intersections to cross the street, and look both ways for traffic.
Walk, don’t run: Walk from house to house on the sidewalk, and avoid open flames like candles in jack-o’-lanterns.
Costume: Avoid costumes that are too tight, uncomfortable, or flammable. Make sure your child’s shoes are comfortable and suitable for walking.
Candy: Only eat factory-wrapped candy, and don’t eat too much at once.
Makeup: Remove your child’s makeup after trick-or-treating to avoid skin irritation.
Group: Go trick-or-treating in a group, which is safer and more fun.
Social rules: Knock on the door, say “Trick or Treat”, and make eye contact. Respond to any questions, and say “thank you” before moving on.
Driving: If you’re driving, be extra vigilant, and drive slower around pedestrians.
