LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – It has become the largest single gathering for trick-or-treaters in Lima and Allen County.
The Lima Noon Optimist Club and the Lima Police Department will host their annual Trunk or Treat event on the last Saturday of October. Organizers say the event has continued to grow each year, and they’re preparing for another successful turnout.
LPD Officer Eric Mericle, Safety City Program Coordinator, said, “The earliest I’ve ever seen anybody line up was, like, an hour and a half to two hours prior, but it’s, you know, come out. You know, there’s going to be a little bit of a line, but there’s so many people passing out various different things, not only just candy, they may have free gift cards to places. So it’s just going to be a fun, fun time.”
The Safety City Trunk or Treat will take place Saturday, Oct. 25, from noon until 2 p.m. The event is open to the public — and organizers remind participants to bring a big enough bag for all their candy.
