Make sure Halloween masks and hats don’t obstruct vision, impair hearing or breathing. Using face paint can solve this problem.

Children carrying sharp objects and props can injure someone accidentally. Use common sense when creating a Halloween costume.

COMING SOON: From Nov 1 – Jan 1 we will be collecting old towels, blankets, toys, bedding, and food for the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Dedham shelter. The abused and abandoned animals awaiting adoption are in desperate need of these items and YOU can make a difference! This is our 8th annual collection drive. We will travel to your home even if you are not a client. Please tell all of your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. For more information or to schedule a pick up, call 781-492-8700.

Choose bright, highly visible Halloween costumes over dark ones. It will make it a lot easier for drivers to see and a lot safer for kids.
