Litchfield Fall & Halloween Upcoming Activities

The Litchfield Visitors Bureau is encouraging people to participate in several fall activities that are coming up in the near future. One of the events is the Community Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 26th from 3-to-5 p.m. in the parking lot between the fairgrounds and Litchfield High School on East 10th Street.

Robbie Brown says it’s a free event and they have more than 30 vendors who will be set up in the parking lot, so kids will need to have big trick-or-treating bags. She says there will be free hot chocolate and people are asked to bring a non-perishable item or cash donation for the Food Shelf, if possible.

Janaye Prieve says it’s fun to see the creativity of the vendors who set up their vehicles in the parking lot for the trunk or treat event. She says the Wreede Good Apple Orchard, just south of Litchfield on Highway 22, has a stop and shop event this Saturday, October 25th, from 10-to-3; the Nelson Farm is open one more weekend – October 25th and 26th – with the Pumpkin Patch Festival; the Light Up Litchfield contest needs business entries; and Small Business Saturday is coming up on November 29th.

Darlene Kotelnicki says the Litchfield Downtown Council is promoting Frankenstein Friday again this year, and with Halloween on a Friday this year, it will be on October 31st from 3-to-6 p.m. She says the participating businesses in downtown Litchfield will have a black cat in their windows, and kids can start anywhere, but special trick-or-treat bags will be handed out at the American Legion that have been donated by the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office that have safety tips printed on them.
