Because larger, traditional Halloween parties and haunted houses are sometimes overwhelming to children with physical or developmental disabilities, the Township decided to offer a low-key, calmer environment for kids to display their costumes, have fun and enjoy the festivities. 

Volunteers, including Deerfield-Bannockburn firefighters, will help facilitate games and activities.

 Please call West Deerfield Township Supervisor Julie Morrison at 847-945-0614 with any questions.
