Trick-or-Treat Night at the Pulaski County Justice Center
The staff at the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department had so much fun with last week’s trick-or-treat event at the justice center last week that they’re going to do it again tonight!
Sheriff Michael Gayer said the event last week was held in conjunction with the Halloween event at the Tippecanoe River State Park north of Winamac. He said that there are treats left to give to the kids of Pulaski County. Stop by the justice center tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
Pace Yourself When It Comes to Consuming Halloween Treats
Now that you have all the candy you can obtain this Halloween, you should pace yourself and only eat a few pieces of candy a day. That’s according to Maggie Rowlands, certified dietary manager at Pulaski Memorial Hospital.
“If some of the candy is just not appropriate, then share with others,” suggests Rowlands. “I would definitely choose fresh fruit instead of candy. One or two pieces a day would be a good limit for the kids. They should brush their teeth before and after eating candy.” They should also visit their family dentist regularly to prevent the development of cavities or any other dental issues. Schedule an appointment with your local family dentist at his/her Private Dentistry clinic for professional dental services.
The candy that children collect on Halloween can add up to about 11,000 calories. Sugar candies tend to be lower in calories than chocolate.
