Recently issued the following announcement.
The Montgomery Police Department will host its annual Halloween Safety Event for the 7th year on Sunday, October 10, from 10A-2P. The event will be at the police department’s campus at 10 Civic Center Ave. in Montgomery, IL. The event will take place entirely outdoors to ensure social distancing and safety for the participants. This year the event will feature three local food trucks, games, crafts, giveaways, and safety education. Parking will be available onsite.
“This event is what this job is about, safety and community engagement; it helps to have some fun while doing just that,” says Commander Liz Palko, lead organizer of the event. The Halloween Safety Event will feature several safety stations where kids can learn and interact with the Montgomery Police Officers. In addition, there will be a touch-a-truck station where kids can see the inside of various police and public works vehicles, games and crafts, candy, and prizes. “We are grateful to the many community businesses that have donated candy, prizes, and gift baskets for us to giveaway to the participants,” states Palko. This year’s event sponsors are The Lakone Company, Ozinga, Chicago Flameproof, Barrett’s Soft Water Service, Coffman Truck Sales, RJ Keck Pipe & Supply, Bank of Montgomery, Montgomery Foundation, Golden China Buffet, Exhaust Works, Grandma’s Table, and Aurora Metals. Additionally, many local businesses have donated candy, supplies, prizes, and gift certificates. These businesses include but are not limited to Parkside Lanes, Rosati’s Pizza, Batteries Plus, Papa Johns, EBY Brown, Performance Foods, Wendy’s, Comcast, Jimmy John’s, Kendall 11, Earthmovers Credit Union, Molli Baumann – Scentsy, Ridge Ambulance, State Farm, Dollar General, and Atrevete Confections.
Visitors are encouraged to wear costumes and can participate in a traditional costume contest complete with trophies. New this year, three local food vendors will be onsite selling food for those looking to make a day of it. Food options include Dick’s Donuts, Grumpy Gaucho, and Homerun Hot Dogs. The entire event will take place outdoors; please dress for the weather. Masks are encouraged but optional since it is an outdoor event.
