Let's have a SAFE Halloween!

Kids not sure what to be for Halloween yet?

When you're picking a costume, choose non-toxic face paint and make-up whenever possible to ensure kids can see because a full-face Halloween mask can obstruct a child’s vision. Plan your costumes with visibility in mind so we can keep our little ghouls and goblins safe while they have fun!

🎡 🎃 Letting your child travel with you? Always Take a Photo!

Crowds at the State Fair move fast, and Halloween can bring up all sorts of busy surprises. Your child can wander off in seconds if you aren't careful. If you find yourself in this risky situation and lose your child, a clear & current photo on your phone is one of the fastest ways to help officials find them.

This October, we're highlighting the importance of child safety as they venture outside. Remember to:
✔️ Take a photo of your child in today’s outfit
✔️ Keep it on your phone, not on public social media
✔️ Determine a meeting spot with your child, in case you get separated
✔️ Teach them to find a uniformed official for help
✔️ Always keep little ones within arm’s reach

Posting photos of your kids online, especially with school uniforms, locations, or daily routines, can give strangers more information than you intend. Keep the photo for emergencies, but keep your child’s details private from the public eye.
