Mt. Pulaski community hosts annual Trunk or Treat event

[October 27, 2026]  Vehicles lined the historic Mt. Pulaski Courthouse square for the annual Trunk or Treat Saturday, October 24th.

Several community organizations, including the Logan County Department of Public Health, Latham Fire, Mt. Pulaski Fire, Mt. Pulaski Education Association, Mt. Pulaski Community Association, the Hilltop Club of Mt. Pulaski, Mt. Pulaski Public Library, and Zion Lutheran Church, participated and handed out goodies to trick-or-treaters—many adults dressed up to match their trunk's theme.

Illini National Bank had a fall farm-themed trunk with a barn backdrop, pumpkins, and an inflatable cow. A couple of trunks had ghosts: one with two ghosts holding candy, and one with a pink-and-purple theme with large ghost and pumpkin balloons. Longview had a cat-themed trunk. Trick-or-treaters had to scoop their treats out of litter boxes as Goose the cat watched from his spot in the trunk.

Frankenstein was also there handing out his boogers, which included snacks like popcorn and candy. One trunk was decorated as a giant spider.

The costumes ranged from an inflatable T-Rex and minions to a Twister-themed duo of a tornado and a cow, cowgirls, and many other creative costumes.
