Trick or Treat Trek Breaks Records!


If you’ve noticed a local candy shortage, it’s probably thanks to the overwhelming success of Highwood’s Trick or Treat Trek on Friday, October 25! Over 65 local establishments joined in on the fun. The sidewalks were packed with children darting in and out of stores, their glow-in-the-dark bags filled to the brim with treats. While we don’t have the exact candy count, we do know that The Toadstool Pub handed out over 1,000 pieces! That’s a lot of candy!


Thanks to The Bank of Highwood | Fort Sheridan and to

Symonds Funeral Home for their support of this fantastic event.
