Round Lake sets official trick-or-treat hours

Trick-or-treating in Round Lake will take place Sunday, October 28, from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m., village officials announced.

Residents are urged to follow these safety tips when going door-to-door: Be certain that an adult or responsible teenager accompanies children; know the friends that will accompany your children; stay in your own neighborhood and only go to houses where it appears people are at home; know the exact route your children are taking; and inform children to never enter a stranger's house, even if invited.

Parents also should be sure their children's costumes fit properly to prevent tripping and falling and allow for unrestricted vision. Masks should be removed before crossing streets.
