Whether your kids use a plastic pumpkin or a decorated Halloween bag, they're probably already excited about going trick or treating on the big day.

The village of Morton Grove has announced that trick or treating hours will be between 3:30pm and 7:30pm on Wednesday October 31st.

The Morton Grove Police Department wants to make sure the scares are only pretend--so it has issued these safety reminders for trick or treaters, their older sibs and their parents. 

Kids:

• Never, ever go into a stranger’s house;
• Be careful when you cross a street;
• Costumes should be bright, non-restrictive and have reflective material;
• It is recommended that parents and children carry a flashlight;
• Masks should allow for good vision;
• Parents should travel with children & inspect all candy before it is eaten.

Teens:

• Make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with.
• Vandalism is never cool! Throwing eggs or shaving cream at cars and houses is a crime.
• Halloween poses special risks to young pedestrians; pay attention to your surroundings.
• Please report suspicious activity.
