This is not something that many of us had to face when we were kids and out trick-or-treating, but it's a sad fact of life. There are some bad people out there, and the Illinois Attorney General wants you to take a look around and know where they're going before you send the kids out to grab a bucketful of candy on Halloween.
With Halloween arriving tomorrow, costumes have been purchased or made, candy has been gathered, decorations are up, and the trick-or-treaters are ready to hit the streets, However, there are laws and regulations about hours and times that go along with the Halloween festivities---but does Illinois have an age limit for those going door-to-door looking for treats?
We're just a little over 10 days away from Halloween 2024, so we thought it might be smart to look at the long-range weather forecast to see what kind of conditions trick-or-treaters (and the parents who go with them) are going to be dealing with. Will costumes this year be covered with a coat? Will you have to shovel your walk for the candy-grabbing hordes?
It's going to happen. Maybe not to everyone, but it's happened at our house for the last 4 straight years. I just want you to be prepared for what's coming.
