Happy Halloween from Lynchburg Macaroni Kid! Although we had all hoped for good weather, it looks like a rainy Halloween this year. Don't let the rain stop your fun!
Whether you trick or treat in your neighborhood, attend the trick-or-treat event at River Ridge Mall, go to some trunk or treat events, or party at home, let Lynchburg Macaroni Kid help you Find Your Family Fun® for Halloween in Central Virginia!
Trunk or Treat events for Oct. 31
***Events below are noted either:
T or T for events that are primarily trunk or treat events - Go, get candy, and leave OR
T or T+ for events that have a trunk or treat as part of a larger event - May have inflatables, games, or other activities (harder to get kids to leave)
This will help families plan accordingly.
If you only want to take your children a few places to get candy, choose the T or T events.
If you want to go somewhere and spend a little extra time (some are even all day or all evening), choose the T or T+ events.

Keep Safe This Halloween Season With These Safety Tips - See the article for all tips
Here's a few tips, but check this article for more!
Costumes should be bright and reflective. For greater visibility, add reflective tape to both bags and costumes.
Avoid accessories with sharp ends. Tripping while carrying something sharp could result in a serious injury.
To avoid a surprise reaction to makeup, test ahead of time in a small area.
For small children, painting pumpkins is much safer than carving.
Avoid using candles to light your pumpkin. Battery-operated lights are easier and safer.
Never send your child out alone to trick-or-treat. Younger children should always be accompanied by at least one trusted adult, and older kids should remain in groups when haunting the neighborhood.
Carry a flashlight to see and be seen after the sun goes down.
Examine all Halloween treats before your children consume them.
