A classic for all ages it tells the story of perseverance, dreams, and friendship!

Movie information.

Halloween is a great night to celebrate and have fun, but you should also think about safety.   Don’t be spooked, we have a few simple Halloween safety tips to follow.

Masks are great, but they often make it difficult to see where you are going or dancing.  Before you buy that expensive mask, try it on and make sure that it does not obstruct your view.

Skip the clown costume this year.  Crazy clown sightings and clowns with hatchets jumping out of the woods has made people a bit weary of clowns, so if you have a clown costume put it away for another year.  Even McDonald’s has asked Ronald to disappear this year!

If you are wearing a dark costume, wear reflective tape. This is a good idea whether you are trick or treating or not.  Reflective tape makes it easy for others to see you walking or in dark places.

If your travel plans have you driving, keep in mind that kids and others will be out from early until late.  Put your car lights on, drive at slow speeds and be aware of your surroundings.

These tips will ensure that you have a happy and safe Halloween this year.
