Halloween is just around the corner and once again the Waterloo Region Children’s Safety Village will be hosting their annual Halloween in the Village event Saturday.
For the third year in a row, kids along with their parents will have a chance to play games, take part in activities and crafts, and of course trick-or-treat throughout the miniature village from 10am until noon.
Safety Village Coordinator Lisa Hummel tells 570News some tips they will share with visitors Saturday.
“Make sure they are wearing a costume that they have great visibility in, and we encourage face-painting instead of masks and wear brightly lit costumes or caring a flash light or wearing glow sticks. Also make sure kids travel with a parent or at least in groups and that the adult in their home knows where they are, where they are going, and when they are expected to be home.”
There are also important safety tips for parents to remember as well.
“Be sure that everything (candy) looks like it is appropriately wrapped that there is nothing in there that will harm the children. Also make sure they walk on sidewalks and don’t cross areas that are poorly lit.”
Admission to the event is $5 per child.
Each child will receive a Halloween bag for trick or treating and all proceeds from the event will go to support the Waterloo Region Children’s Safety Village.
