City of Clarksville Offers Information, Safety Tips For Trick-or-Treaters

Clarksville, TN – It’s almost time for the children of the City of Clarksville to dress up like their favorite monster, goblin or super hero. Although Trick or Treat is a fun time for children and parents alike, there are some safety tips that the City would like everyone to remember:

• Parents should inspect all treats before children eat them.
• Mask holes should be large enough to see through easily.
• Use a flashlight to let drivers see you and to see where you are going.
• To avoid tripping, don’t wear costumes that are too loose or too long.
• Reflective bright colors should be used so drivers can see you after dark.
• Walk on sidewalks, or as near to the curb as possible if there are no sidewalks.
