We encourage residents wishing to handout Halloween candy to turn on their front porch light and we also encourage trick-or-treaters to respect those properties whose porch lights are not turned on.

The City of Grand Ledge wants to keep its children safe.  Please follow this advice this Halloween:

• Children should be accompanied by a parent or large group of friends while trick-or-treating.
• Children should trick-or-treat close to their home.
• Children should carry a flashlight or glow stick while trick-or-treating at night.
• Don’t pet strange animals while trick or treating, your costume or other’s costumes may irritate or confuse pets.
• Drivers should exhibit extra caution while driving on Halloween.
• A parent should inspect Halloween candy before eating.  If any candy is open, do not eat it.

Please have a fun and safe Halloween!
