Real Estate Trends for Palmdale, Lancaster and the Greater Antelope Valley October 27 2009

The countdown to Halloween is ticking away and we are all getting ready for the big night of ghosts and goblins.

Plan costumes that are bright and reflective and make sure shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.

Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and Trick-or-Treat bags for greater visibility.

Always keep Jack O' Lanterns and hot electric lamps away from drapes, decorations, flammable materials or areas where children will be standing or walking.

Wait until the kids are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, we should closely inspect all treats and throw away any spoiled and any that looked unwrapped or suspicious items.
