"Heritage Harmonics" from Heritage Elementary School performed a medley of holiday songs for the Kiwanis members and even did a little dancing. Students practice several days a week at school and say they enjoy the feeling they get when performing in front of a live audience.

It was a spooky site around Lima Senior Saturday, as thousands of kids and their parents came out to fill their bags during Community Trunk or Treat.   The line of candy seekers wrapped around the high school for the first year of the event.  The Lima Police Department organized the event because they wanted to do something big for the community that was safe and fun.  They were expecting around 2,000 kids, but they probably beat that number.  To help them out, 67 businesses, churches, and organizations passed out candy, books, and other goodies to the kids. Organizers were happy to see the outpouring of support for this first-time event. 

LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The chill in the air didn't stop kids from going out to show off their costumes and get their Halloween candy.

If out after dark, she recommends lighter-colored clothing or reflective costumes. Glow sticks and flashlights can make kids more visible too. And a costume should be easy to walk in and short enough to expose a child's feet or toes to avoid tripping. And if you're offering allergen-free treats, you can put teal pumpkins out to alert parents that there are goodies for kids with food allergies.

Organizers say that 65 businesses will be on hand to pass out candy and other goodies to the kids. The Lima Police Chief Angel Cortez wanted to do a big community-wide event that would be safe for everyone for Halloween. So they came up with the idea for the Trunk or Treat and they are looking to have a big crowd for their first time out.

It was all treats and no tricks when a local funeral home opened up its parking lot to give back to the community.  Chiles-Laman Funeral Home held a Trunk or Treat at their Shawnee Chapel.  They put the word out and over 20 vehicles, some decked out in their own costumes, were on hand to pass out treats to the kids.  The funeral home also handed out popcorn and drinks to the costumed candy seekers and their parents.    Organizers thought this would be a fun way to celebrate Halloween. 

 For over 30 years now, the Lima Noon Optimist have been making sure kids get their fill of candy in a safe way.  The organization hosted their annual Trick or Treat at Safety City Saturday afternoon.  This is the first time they have been able to host the event since 2019 and over 4,000 superheroes, princesses, and other candy seekers were on hand to visit the numerous places around Safety City to pick up their treats and other goodies.
