Sheriff Bill Davison reminds motorists to be aware of children on this night and in general slow down when passing through these towns in Ripley County.

He also gives some tips to trick-or-treaters such as: wear light colored clothing and add reflective tape to the sides, front and back of costumes; make sure children can see well through face masks or use cosmetics to create fun or scary masks; adults should always accompany children; go out in daylight as much as possible and carry a flashlight for when it gets dark; only accept packaged candy; examine all candy before allowing children to eat it; and keep costumed children away from pets.
