City of Kenosha sets hours for trick-or-treating

The City of Kenosha continues its Halloween tradition of trick or treat from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.

Households interested in giving away treats should indicate their interest by turning on a light on their porch or in the front yard.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and take extra caution during the hours of trick-or-treat, to avoid accidents.

Sunset on Oct. 31 is 5:45 p.m.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following safety tips for trick or treat:

• Eat only factory-wrapped treats.
• Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
• Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.
• Look both ways before crossing the street. Use crosswalks wherever possible.
• Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
• Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
• Consider adding reflective tape to costumes to assist in visibility after dark.
