Halloween parade, trunk-or-treat set for Tolono
The Tolono Fun Day group will host a Halloween parade starting at 3pm in Tolono on October 31. Open to walkers as well as to decorated floats, vehicles, tractors and golf cars, the parade will start at East Side Park and wind through town to West Side Park.
Participants are asked to line-up for the parade starting at 2:45pm at East Side.
"This is our first year doing anything like this," said Brian Booher, one of seven members of the group running the Halloween event. "We’re really not sure what our turnout will look like. It’s peaked the interest of some local businesses this time, too."
Booher, who lives in Tolono and graduated from Unity High School, said past participation in similar events has been modest, but with the parade open various vehicles, he is hoping for more participation and a decent size crowd along the route.
Our past golf cart parades we got around 20 carts," he said. "With this parade also being open to vehicle, bike, and walkers, we hope to get a little bit larger turnout."
Once the procession reaches its destination at West Side Park, there will be a Trunk-or-Treat event for kids to enjoy.
"Trunk-or-Treat is where folks will decorate their car trunks or back of golf cart with some Halloween decorations and hand out candy to the kids," Booher said. "I personally have never participated or seen one before, but I’m told it’s fun."
