This past weekend (October 10th) the Village Downtown Development Authority (DDA) organized another great Pumpkin Quest. This year they added another feature, "Touch-a-Truck." Several trucks from numerous organizations brought their BIG trucks to town for kids to climb over and honk the horns. Thank you to Sue Reichel and the members of the DDA for organizing this great community event!
