Hundreds of kids and families attended Safety City’s Trunk or Treat, hosted by the Lima Police Department and Noon Optimist Club, featuring candy, toys and community fun.
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.”
