Trick or Treating in Westford is Sunday, October 31, from 6pm-8pm. To help everybody enjoy the evening, please follow the following safety recommendations:
Make sure a parent or responsible adult accompanies all young children while trick or treating.
Ensure your child knows their home phone number or your cell phone number in case you are separated. And make sure your child knows how to dial 911 in case of emergency.
Tell your child to walk from house to house on sidewalks with clearly lit streets.
Examine your child’s candy before they eat it. Feed them a good meal before heading out to keep them from eating candy before you get home.
Make sure your child avoids walking near lit candles, candle-lit pumpkins, and luminaries.
Work your way up one side of the street and then down the other. Don’t cross back and forth across the street.
