Article Summary: The Park District’s annual Trunk or Treat event saw massive turnout, prompting officials to plan for increased food supplies for next year’s celebration.

Event Statistics Key Points:

  • Attendance: Over 1,000 adults and children attended the event.

  • Food Shortage: 350 hot dogs were consumed within the first hour.

  • Future Plans: The board plans to purchase more hot dogs and eliminate cookies from the menu next year.

A massive crowd descended on the Litchfield Park District’s annual Trunk or Treat event this year, leading officials to reevaluate logistics for future iterations. During the board meeting on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, Commissioner Jaylynn Taylor reported that over 1,000 adults and children attended.

The event featured three games held on the ballfield, which Taylor described as a “huge success.”

However, the high turnout strained resources. The district provided 350 hot dogs, all of which were gone within an hour. As a result, the board plans to reevaluate the setup for next year. Specific changes discussed include purchasing more hot dogs, buns, and chips, while eliminating cookies from the offerings.
