It's finally Halloween! When you send your kids out to do their trick-or-treating, do you get a little nervous? It's understandable but don't worry, Rochester, Minnesota was actually named one of the safest cities for trick-or-treating in the entire country.

This is according to a ChamberOfCommerce.org study. In order to determine their final rankings for the safest cities, they looked at over 300 cities across the country using five different "equally weighted metrics".

I'm so excited to see how many trick-or-treaters we get this year. It's been a long time since we've had any since we've been in an apartment. But now that we're in a house I'm pretty pumped!
