WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — While West Lafayette does not have a set of strict rules for trick or treating, they are offering guidelines that the West Lafayette Police Department encourages the public to observe this Halloween (Saturday, Oct 31).

• Children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult.
• Carry a flashlight
• Cross the street with care
• Consider wearing reflective clothing
• Complete trick or treating prior to 9pm.
• No one should be out after dark alone.

Drivers should be cautious, especially in residential areas and at dusk when visibility is diminished. Remember, in the excitement (and sugar rush) of the moment, children often forget to hold hands or look both ways before crossing the street.

For further questions contact the West Lafayette Police at 765-775-5200.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Purdue Panhellenic Association, joined by the Interfraternity Council and Multicultural Greek Council, will sponsor the annual Halloween Trick-or-Treating event for families throughout the community from 3-5 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 26).

Parents can accompany their children to a number of university organizations’ doorsteps for a safe environment of trick-or-treating. There is no cost to participate.

Each sorority and fraternity participating in the event will be identified with orange and black balloons displayed outside the front of the house as well as a Halloween-themed sheet sign.

Maps will be available at Waldron and Third streets. Participating houses also will have maps of other stops around campus.
