Hey! Happy Halloween! Feel free to drop all of your delicious candy off at our studios, 120 Eaton St (Downtown Peoria).

Seriously, all that yummy chocolate you don’t want, we do!

Have a blast tonight, but please be safe. Peoria trick-or-treating hours are from 5-8p. So, if you are going out here are a few tips to make sure everyone stays safe!

Add reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags.
Use a flashlight and wear light colored clothing.
Swords, knives and other props should be made from flexible cardboard and real-looking guns should never be used.
Kids should always travel with groups and always be accompanied by adults.
Make sure kids are looking both ways before crossing the street. And to walk — not run from house-to-house.
Accept treats at the door and should never go inside a home.
Make sure to not accept a ride from a stranger.
An adult should always inspect the candy first before a kid digs in. Any unwrapped or homemade goodies from strangers should never be accepted.
If you plan to allow trick-or-treaters, leave your porch light on.

Police also ask motorists to look out for kids. Exercise extreme caution when driving during the hours trick-or-treaters will be present. Also, make sure to have a designated driver if you are going to a party where alcohol is served.
