TUESDAY TIP:

👻🎃HALLOWEEN! 🎃 👻
It won't be long now- have you planned your costumes (or your children's?) What do you think will be some of the most popular characters this year??

🍬🦇👻🎃 CITY OF BLUEFIELD, WV 🎃👻🦇🍬
The City of Bluefield will celebrate Halloween on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 6:00PM to 8:00PM.
Be sure to make safety a priority, and use flashlights as it becomes dusk, one of the more low visibility times. Try to stay on sidewalks, etc. but DO NOT walk down the middle of the streets. Even though it's a holiday & lots of people are out, you can't count on all vehicle traffic to be safe.

👧🏾 Always double-check that children’s seat belts are properly fastened.

👦🏼 Buckle unused seat belts if they are within children’s reach.

👦🏻 Keep fold-down seats upright to prevent children from climbing into the trunk.

👦🏾 Teach children how to use your vehicle’s emergency trunk release system.

👧🏼 Choose the correct car seat based on a child’s age, height, and weight.

👧🏻 Follow manufacturer’s instructions to install car seats and booster seats correctly.

👧🏾 Register car seats so that you will be notified of recalls or safety notices.
