As with most things in 2020, Trick or Treating is very much up in the air. We want to give local kids a chance to Trick or Treat in a safe way.

Join us on Saturday, October 31st, starting at 2 pm for Drive-Thru Trick or Treating at the Champaign County Fairgrounds! Put on your costumes, and get in the car, and get some candy from our sponsors, while supplies last. All of our sponsors will be wearing masks and gloves.

Thanks to Health Alliance, the first 2,000 children will receive a free trick or treating bag!

We’ll also be raising money to support the Champaign & Urbana Fire Departments. October is Fire Safety Month, and we’ll be collecting at-will donations during this event. All money raised will go to the Fire Departments to purchase smoke detectors that they will install in houses during their smoke alarm blitz. Thanks to Cricket Wireless for donating $1,800 to this cause to start.

Cars will enter the fairgrounds off of Coler Avenue. Cars will be staged in the parking lots before proceeding around the outside of the track, and exiting back onto Coler avenue. We ask that nobody exit their vehicles during the event.
