Halloween ‘trick or treat’ details
It’s “trick or treat” time, and this event, long awaited by children of all ages, will take
place at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Thursday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. this
includes Fort Myer, Fort McNair and Henderson Hall.
Halloween is fun for everyone, but pay attention to these tips which come from the
U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center:
1. Supervise children, and limit their adventures in treat acquisition to the housing
area in which they reside and only residences with lighted entry ways.
2. Make sure their costumes are fire resistant and easy to see, short enough to
prevent tripping.
3. Use reflective tape or “glow” spray paint or a chemical glow light. 4. Always use
sidewalks and crosswalks; look in all directions before walking across the street (don’t
cut through yards). 5. Make sure masks or head coverings don’t block vision. 6. Caution
children against vandalism and causing damage to property. 7. Carry a flashlight and if
a pumpkin is carried, be sure it’s lit with a battery, not a candle. 8. Feed your child a
full meal; inspect the treats before they are eaten. 9. Pet owners: prevent your pet from
being a menace to children. 10. If you think your child has eaten something that made
him sick, call 911 or the Poison Control Hotline at 1-800-222-1222.
