Trick or Treat on the Square

Safety Parade on Court Square

SERVPRO of Northeast Delta Land participated in the Safety Parade on our Court Square.  We were represented with our Hometown Heroes, Stormy and Blaze, who were on hand to help hand out candy, coloring sheets and informative information about fire safety.  This event is a wonderful addition to our downtown in the fall of the year.  It's a safe environment for our community children to "Trick or Treat", learn from the interactive booths set up and play lots of games.  This event is hosted by our local MainsStreet, downtown merchants and the City of Kosciusko.  The children had a great time and so did we. Below are safety tips:

1. Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.


2. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. 


3. Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.


4. Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.


5. Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to
   the left as possible.  Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.


6. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
