Bring the family for a night of fun and trick-or-treating during the annual Trick-or-Treat in the Park, held at the Thomson Causeway Recreation Area. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2014, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. One night a year, ghouls and goblins take over the campground, as they travel from campsite to campsite collecting candy. Campers decorate their campsites to earn the Best Decorated Site award.
There is no charge for this program, and both campers and non-campers are invited to attend. If you are interested in participating, make sure you are in the park prior to 2:30 p.m., because the campground will be closed to traffic during the event.
Thomson Causeway is located on the west side of Thomson, IL, on Lewis Avenue off Main Street.
There are a few guidelines that visitors are asked to follow:
• Children age 12 and under are to be accompanied by an adult.
• Trick-or-Treaters should only visit sites displaying trick-or-treat signs.
• To ensure visitor safety, traffic will be restricted throughout the camping loops during the event.
