TRICK OR TREATING
Halloween Night
Thursday, Oct. 31
On Halloween night, the Westmont Police Department recommends trick or treating from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. BE SAFE! Be sure to follow typical Halloween safety tips such as wearing reflective clothing, be careful of masks and costumes that can impair your vision or ability to move, be careful when crossing the street, travel with groups, and have a parent check your candy. “We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and happy Halloween,” says Police Chief Tom Mulhearn. “We also urge motorists to drive safe and be mindful of all the pedestrians on Halloween.”
