Halloween Safety Party 
planned for Oct. 27

     GREENVILLE - Parents, are you worried about your child's 
safety while trick or treating on Halloween night?  The 
Clemson Extension Service in Greenville is planning a 
Halloween Safety Party just for that reason.
     All witches, ghosts and goblins from 9 to 12 years old 
are invited to attend the party in full costume on Oct. 27 
from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Clemson Extension Service office.
     "We will talk about Halloween safety rules, such as 
carrying some form of light while out trick or treating, 
watching out for dogs, always staying in a group, costume 
safety and not eating candy until parents have inspected it,"
said Janine Sutter, Clemson Extension agent in Greenville 
County.
     Games will be played, such as a balloon-pop relay race 
and bobbing for apples. Prizes will be awarded.
     The cost is $3.  Children must be registered by Oct. 
24.
     Refreshments will be served, and each child will leave 
with at least one prize.
     The Clemson Extension office is located at Greenville 
County Square, 301 University Ridge, Suite 4300.
     For more information, contact Janine Sutter at (864) 
232-4431.
