Happy Halloween!


Enjoy it and be SAFE!!!

It's that time of year - harvest feasts, haunted shooting galleries, murder and intrigue. 

Come visit THE HALLS OF BUCHANNAN for an old fashioned All Hallow's Eve on both side of the Atlantic.  The harvest celebration takes place in Ireland with truly realistic looking targets --  or are they real?



All the heart stopping elements of the season come together in THE HALLS OF BUCHANNAN - available from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.

This year's theme for Fire Prevention week is   STAY FIRE SMART - DON'T GET BURNED and focuses on burn Awareness and safety.


A few tips:

Remember to always be careful with anything flammable or hot.  Take care with pots and pans on stoves--do NOT leave the handle hang over at a point where is can be spilled or pulled over by a young child.  Be careful what you wear when cooking as loose sleeves or garments can catch fire from the open flame of a gas stove or from the electric burner. 

If your clothes catch fire - STOP, DROP and ROLL  Do NOT run away as it will fan the flames and make matters worse.

If you do get burned - immediately place the affected area under cool water for at least five minutes to COOL A BURN.  Do NOT use butter as it will continue to cook the burned area, aloe which does not work in the initial moments after a burn or ice as the ice will also burn but in a different way - cold burn or in some cases the ice cube can still to your skin.

For more information, contact your local fire department or go to NFPA.org.

Have a fire and burn safe week (October 4-10) and remember - Fire Safety is an all year round concept.  It never takes a vacation!
