(And remember to use reflective tape, even on  bikes, and brooms and the edges of your cape!)<br \/>\n6.\tWhether you walk, slither or sneak, do it on the sidewalks and not in the street.<br \/>\n7.\tAs you roam through the neighborhood collecting your treats, please  look both ways before crossing the street! (And speaking of streets, the  corners are the place for trick or treaters to cross no matter their  pace.)<br \/>\n8.\tWigs, capes and costumes are flammable attire, so avoid open flames to prevent a fire!<br \/>\n9.\tUse a glow stick instead of a candle so your jack-o-lantern isn\u2019t a  safety gamble!<br \/>\n10.\tYou may fly on a broom or a space ship from Mars, but please be on  the lookout for drivers in cars! (Between parked cars is no  to hide, be  sure that you\u2019re seen whether you\u2019re a clown or a bride.)<br \/>\n11.\tMonsters and zombies should stay off the lawn, and only visit homes with their porch lights turned on!<br \/>\n12.\tYou may be dressed as a werewolf, a cat or a frog, but be cautious around strange animals, especially dogs.<br \/>\n13.\tFor additional information on how you and your family can be  prepared for emergencies on Halloween or on any day of the year, please  visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/\">www.RedCross.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a title=\"Comment on Halloween\" href=\"..\/..\/vak\/2012\/10\/26\/halloween\/#respond\"> <\/a> Ghouls and goblins will take over the night.
