Freeport Ford Community Events

October was a month full of excitement, fun, and a whirlwind of activities for Freeport Ford! We were thrilled to be part of not just one, but four fantastic trunk or treat events in our community. It was a busy weekend, but seeing the smiles on kids’ faces made it all worth it. Here’s a recap of our jam-packed Halloween weekend and how we were able to connect with so many families and local organizations.

Bootiful Saturday in Downtown Freeport

Our first stop was Bootiful Saturday in Downtown Freeport, a fun and family-friendly event organized by the Freeport Downtown Business District. We were so grateful to the GFP (Greater Freeport Partnership) for inviting us to bring two of our iconic Ford Broncos down to add some excitement to the event. The kids loved seeing these vehicles up close, and we had a blast handing out candy and meeting so many families who stopped by.

A special thank you goes out to Re-Spun Records, our neighbors just across the street. They were kind enough to send people our way throughout the day, helping us spread the Halloween spirit even further. It’s always heartwarming to see local businesses support one another, and we’re thankful for their partnership.

Trick or Treat Trail at Krape Park

After a fun day in downtown Freeport, we headed over to Krape Park for the Trick or Treat Trail. The event was a huge hit, with around 1000 kids stopping by our table to collect their candy. The energy was electric, and we were thrilled to be a part of such a well-loved local tradition. The park was full of decorations, incredible costumes, and families enjoying the festivities. It was an event we won’t soon forget!

Our Own Trunk or Treat Event

The fun didn’t stop there! On Sunday, we hosted our very own Trunk or Treat at Freeport Ford. We were able to invite the community to our dealership and enjoy an afternoon of candy, games, and fun for all ages. Stay tuned for a separate blog all about our own event, where we’ll dive deeper into the details and share some of the memorable moments from the day.

Cedarville Lions Club Boo Bash

To wrap up the weekend, we made our way over to Cedarville for the Cedarville Lions Club Boo Bash at the Jane Addams Community Center. It was the perfect way to finish off an already packed weekend! We love that so many different organizations reached out to us to be part of their festivities, and this event was no exception. The kiddos were out in full force, dressed in their spookiest costumes, and we were honored to be part of the fun.

A Community-Focused October

Reflecting on this whirlwind weekend, we feel incredibly grateful to be a part of such a vibrant and welcoming community. While we were thrilled to host our own Trunk or Treat event, the support from local organizations inviting us to be a part of their celebrations made the weekend even more special. It’s these moments that remind us how important it is to support one another and give back to the community that has supported us for so long.

We are always looking for ways to connect with families and local businesses, and this month was a shining example of how we can all come together to create something magical for the kids. From Bootiful Saturday to the Trick or Treat Trail at Krape Park, our own event, and finally the Cedarville Lions Club Boo Bash, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the season.

Thank You to Everyone Who Made It Possible

A huge thank you goes out to all the organizers, volunteers, and businesses who made these events possible. Your dedication to providing safe, fun, and memorable experiences for families is truly inspiring. We look forward to being a part of these events again next year and can’t wait to continue supporting the community in any way we can.
