McLeansboro Halloween on the Square

10/26/2025

A huge thank you to everyone who made this years event a success!! From set up to clean up we had an amazing group helping to make sure everything went smoothly 🎃

Thank you to everyone who handed out candy. All the table’s looked great, but we think it’s safe to say that Peoples National Bank stole the show 🥇

Thank you to all our emergency personnel for participating & keeping us safe!

Thank you to Chad Beene for being our emcee for the evening and to Sarah, Connie & Abby from the McLeansboro Elks Lodge #1882 for sponsoring our costume contest this year! We could not have done it without you all.

Happy Halloween & we will see you all next year!
