We want to keep Glenview's young ghouls, goblins and ghosts safe this Halloween!
Trick-or-treating hours in the Village are 3 to 7 p.m., rain or shine, on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Keep these tips in mind if your kids haunt the neighborhood:
- Accompany children (or send an older sibling) and make sure they don't enter anyone's home without your permission.
- Map out a trick-or-treat route for your children to follow.
- Make sure kids cross only at corners -- and look in all directions first. Remind them to use sidewalks or walk facing traffic so approaching cars can be seen.
- Caution them against crossing the street between parked cars, where driver's can't see them.
- Warn children not to eat any goodies until you've had a chance to inspect them. When in doubt, throw it out.
- Residents can make known whether they do or don't welcome trick-or-treaters by posting a sign in their window:
