Looking for some Halloween fun for the whole family? From trick-or-treating to costume parties, whether it be east or west, Pierce County has you covered. A full listing is below. But first, let’s read some trick-or-treating safety tips, provided by “Haunted Wisconsin.”
• Never trick-or-treat alone.
Have at least two friends go with you.
• Plan your entire route and make sure your family knows what it is.
• Carry a bright flashlight to illuminate sidewalks, steps and paths. Use new batteries and check the flashlight before you leave the house.
• Glow sticks can be used along with flashlights.
• Always walk, do not run.
• Stay on sidewalks. If there is none, walk on the left side of the road facing travc, single file.
• Obey travc signals and only cross at corners.
• Don’t assume you have the right of way.
• Because one car stops, doesn’t mean they all will.
• Stay in familiar neighborhoods.
• Don’t cut across yards or driveways.
• Wear a watch you can read in the dark.
• Avoid wearing masks while walking from house to house.
• Wear clothing with reflec tive markings or tape.
• Make sure your costume doesn’t drag on the ground or you might trip.
• Wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Visit houses with lights on, especially houses with Halloween decorations.
• Stay away from animals you don’t know.
• Don’t enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.
• Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go inside a house.
• Always carry a spare Halloween bag in case yours breaks.
• Take a cell phone if possible.
• Always be polite and don’t forget to say thank you.
• Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.
Avoid pointed props such as spears, or wands that endanger other children's eyes.
