Scary! Halloween is almost here!

Isn't it amazing how quickly the year is flying by! We can't believe it is almost time for trick or treaters...ghosts and goblins...and all that leftover candy! Here are a few fun ideas for you and your family to do this year.

A trip to Remlinger Farms for the corn maze, train ride and see the farm animals is always a great time. It is located in Carnation. The address is 32610 NE 32nd Street, Carnation, WA.

And finally, don't forget the some basic Halloween safety tips:

Wear light colored costumes to be visble in the dark, carry a flashlight or purchase "glow in the dark" necklaces and bracelets.

Make sure costumes aren't too long to avoid tripping.

Use makeup or facepaints instead of masks.

Walk on the sidewalk and cross only at corners.

Trick or treat only in familiar areas.

Go with Mom, Dad another adult or a buddy...never trick or treat alone.

Never go into a home or apartment building without an adult.

Only trick or treat at houses with outdoor lights on.
