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.”
