Trunk-or-Treat Trunk Participants

We are looking for families, groups and individuals to host a “trunk” at the Illinois Lutheran Trunk-or-Treat from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM on Sunday, October 26 at the elementary campus (448 Cass Street in Crete). Elizabeth Street between Trinity and the school will be closed down for trunks. This is a family-friendly event. Please no gory or spooky decor. If the weather is bad, we will move the event into the gym and use tables.
