Halloween in Antioch IL ** Trick or Treat **

Posted to Mary Petersen

The best idea I’ve seen thus far to promote businesses, community & families was this year’s trick or treat in Antioch IL. The businesses that participated were mostly on Main Street, some were on Lake Street. It was Saturday, October 24th from 12n-5pm.

The sweetest treat in the prettiest package came from Something Sweet, a specialty candy shop, and “bravo” to whomever makes the fudge. David’s Bistro is somewhat new to the area and I wanted to stay for dinner, but the kids handed me a tootsie roll and we kept going.

My favorite shop is JJ Blinkers, you guessed it, it’s a costume shop plus. They had a fun gift plus a candy treat. The kids made out like bandits! I went into shops that I would of just past by before only because I just didn’t know they were there. Picasso’s Pals, 847-395-2160, has art classes for children, Tanks to You is an aquatic shop, 847-838-0033 and Antioch Music offers a vast selection of musical instruments & lessons. Guitar, piano, you name it.

It was a nice Halloween treat for parents and kids. I’ve already written my letter to the town saying “thank you” it was great fun.
