NOTABLE QUOTABLES:
“Trick-or-treating is a fun tradition, yet in today’s world you have to be very careful. Parents definitely need to reinforce safety rules with their children.”
— Cyndi Gregory
“Fun tradition; dangerous only if they eat all the giant candy bars they get now in one night.”
— David Evans
“I was always taught as a child that trick-or-treating was wrong, however, I have grown up now and feel that it can be all in good fun as long as the children are supervised and the candy inspected. One of my friends found a razor blade in a piece of his candy one year, so I feel that it’s best if done in a safe environment like a church, or the hospital and the nursing homes even give out candy. Just be careful!”
— Jennifer Sexton
“I love trick or treating! It’s a fun tradition.”
— Eloise Wolfard Evans
