Red Cross Halloween Safety Party
The American Red Cross believes that the trick to having a fun Halloween is knowing how to remain safe. To help children learn about safety, the Nassau Red Cross will open its doors for a Halloween Safety Party on Friday, October 22.
Children between the ages of five and 11 are invited to participate in the event which will include carnival style games and a haunted house. More importantly, they will learn what to do if a friend is choking, what to do if approached by a stranger, and other ways to remain safe while trick or treating.
Children are encouraged to wear costume, however, they are to be non-violent with no weapons, nor full-face masks. Admission is $5 per child and attendees must register in advance. The party is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Red Cross.
