Glenwood, Ill., Friday, Oct. 31, 2014 – Along with the aroma of apple cider and pumpkin spices, there is a distinct whiff of something positively Rockwellian hovering in Glenwood, Illinois. The Annual Bonfire, hosted by the Village’s Fire Department for decades, is now perfectly partnered with Living Springs Community Church Fall Fest for a Halloween evening of tradition and family-friendly fun that would simply delight Norman.
The Fall Fest will include pumpkin painting, inflatable bounce houses, and refreshments—hot dogs, chips, and beverages. Living Springs encourages both adults and children to wear costumes. For a real throwback to simpler times, a Cake Walk will be held, where a musical-chairs type of elimination results in the winner being awarded a home-baked cake. Volunteers from Living Springs and the community will also be hosting Trunk-or-Treat in the parking lot. Children will visit each vehicle’s trunk to collect candy and other goodies.
The Fall Fest and Bonfire are completely free to attend, with free parking conveniently available. For more information, visit www.livingspringscc.org or www.villageofglenwood.com, or call 708-709-0100.
