Can you believe that Halloween is this weekend?! We hardly can believe it but we’re ready to celebrate in a safe and fun way! Whether you have already selected your costume or you’re still thinking, we want to go over a few ways to stay safe this Halloween! We know not everyone is ready to celebrate the holiday in big crowds, and guess what? You don’t have to! If you’re looking for ways to celebrate from a distance, we encourage you to put these tips to good use and be aware of your surroundings this weekend.

Virtual Costume Parties –

• Today’s age offers plenty of technology to a wide variety of audiences which means you can use them to your advantage this Halloween weekend! We recommend setting a time with friends and family that you all can join and enjoy the time together! And don’t forget to pass out the virtual candy! 

Make Masks A Costume Prop – 

• We know that it might be difficult to get your kiddos to wear those masks but if you make it part of their costume, you might have a winning way to stay safe this weekend. Some great options are surgeons, superheroes, or even evil characters! Be sure to double line with an approved mask! 

Spooky Movie Night 

• Things definitely look a lot different this year so maybe it’s time to switch up those traditions! Like having a spooky movie night instead of heading out to trick or treat! Of course, we recommend some fan-favorite age-appropriate movies like Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, or Hocus Pocus! Did we say that one twice?! 

Outdoor Community Events – 

• If your community is having a few outdoor events, we encourage you to attend but be safe and mindful of you and your family while in attendance. Be sure to pack your masks and extras in case. Hand sanitizer is also a must-have these days. Always choose events where physical distancing and one-way walkthroughs are enforced. As always, remind your children of potential dangers when out and about and to always be on alert. 

We hope to have a safe, fun, and happy Halloween weekend! Stay spooky!

What Caused My Dead Battery – 

• Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers, or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running 
• Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running 
• Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze 
• Lack of battery maintenance
• Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time 
•  Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator 

How To Avoid A Dead Battery – 

• The easiest way to put your mind to ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition. 
• Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether. 
• Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery. 

What To Do When Your Battery Dies – 

• Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should never try to jump-start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid. 
• Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.
