Our 2025 Ghostwalk was a spine tingling success and raised over $4,500 for the Long Grove Historical Society. Thanks to all of our volunteers (witches and otherwise!) who helped make this annual community event happen, and thanks to the many families who attended and enabled us to scare the children once again! 👻🍁🧙
