Wednesday at the Lincoln Park District, everyone was busy stuffing bags for trick-or-treat as they prepare for this year's Halloween FunFest to be held next Tuesday night. There has been a lot to do to get ready for several different activities between now and then, but Roy Logan of the park district said the work is coming along nicely, and they are "circling the drain" on getting everything done.

The Lincoln Park District Fit Zone had an awesome turnout for their Fall Family Fun 5K run-walk.

Saturday was a perfect fall morning for this fun event. Families and friends shared time together as they started running or walking at 9 a.m.

The event started at the Lincoln Park District's back parking lot and headed down Wyatt, took a turn left on Home Avenue and continued out about 1.5 miles, then back to the park district's front parking lot.

Participants could also sign up for a two-mile walk.

Afterward, participants were treated to water and fruit provided by Chris Graue, Graue Inc. All participants also received goodie bags and group or family photos. Awards were given to the top three male and female finishers in the 5K.

The park district looks forward to sponsoring this type of event again in the future. Thank you to all who participated.

The high drama of this political season has been echoed by episodic TV like CBS' "The Good Wife" and Showtime's "Homeland," where character Nicholas Brody returns home after eight years of imprisonment in Afghanistan to become a U.S. congressman.
