The city of Crown Point, in partnership with the Crown Point Community Library and the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce, is hosting this year’s Pumpkin Walk.
Children can trick-or-treat at local businesses around the historic downtown square from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23. Booths also will be set up on the lawn of the historic Lake County Courthouse, with shops inside the courthouse also participating in the event.
“We are very excited to partner with the Crown Point Chamber and the Crown Point Library to bring this event back to the square,” said Adam Graper, director of the city’s Parks, Athletics, Communications, and Entertainment (PACE) Department. “This family-friendly event has been a tradition in the Crown Point community for years.”
The city will have a booth on the courthouse lawn this year, Graper noted. The Library will have trick-or-treating, a kid-friendly Halloween drop-in movie, a floating pumpkin game, a Halloween scavenger hunt in the Children’s Library, a special make-and-take activity, a self-guided story walk-in the library’s green space, and an interactive sidewalk activity, Library Director Julie Wendorf said.
“The Crown Point Library is thrilled to partner with the city of Crown Point and the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce for the Pumpkin Walk,” Wendorf said. “The Library has always participated in this event, but we’re excited to now be a part of presenting this wonderful community tradition.”
Crown Point Chamber President Alan Myszkowski said the organization is excited to help with this year’s Pumpkin Walk.
“The event is the perfect example of giving our local businesses exposure while providing an unforgettable experience to the community, in the heart of Crown Point, and that’s something that we truly appreciate as a collective,” Myszkowski said.
