Halloween!
when it’s safe to do so. When in doubt, just wait for traffic to die down! Candy is not worth the risk.
Watch for Ghouls! A few times of the year, driving becomes perilous, and Halloween is chief among them. You can avoid disaster by staying more vigilant than usual and following a few tips. To start, try to avoid neighborhoods, which will have more pedestrians. Regardless of where you drive, always use your headlights — even during the daylight hours of early trick-or-treating — and don’t have any distractions in your vehicle. Be extra cautious around crosswalks and yield when it’s safe to do so! Eager children may not be as cautious in crosswalks as their parents would like them to be, so do your part to stop as often as you can. As a bonus tip, if you park anywhere, avoid parking in a spot where you have to back-up to pull out. As Consumer Reports note, driving in reverse limits your vision, and children can easily slip behind vehicles without drivers noticing.

dated to the Neolithic Age in regions as diverse as modern-day Turkey, Ireland, Greece, and India, among others” — but it’s perhaps the most famous ancient tale. If you’ve ever navigated a Halloween corn maze staffed by ghouls and ghosts, you can see the parallels! Garden Art to Get Lost In Mazes formed from bushes began popping up European gardens in the 17th century. They were a popular artistic feature of upper-class gardens in England, more for looking at than solving. One famous example is the half-mile-long Hampton Maze, which was planted in 1690 and still stands today. The Corn Maze: An American Invention Garden mazes eventually hopped the pond to America but didn’t become interactive puzzles until Don Frantz, Creative Director of the American Maze Company, came on the scene. In 1993, Frantz created the “first ever cornfield maze for private and public entertainment” to attract college kids in Pennsylvania. Today, every small-town corn maze is a descendant of his “Amazing Maize Maze.” To learn more about that wacky history, visit AmericanMaze.com.
