RANTOUL, Ill. (WCIA) — A wave of excitement swept through Rantoul as hundreds of children gathered for a spooky celebration that locals say fills the town with joy. From ghosts and witches to superheroes, an array of imaginative costumes was on display this past Friday.

“We eagerly await this event every year,” shared Abbey Good, a resident of Rantoul.

In related news, a Champaign factory that has stood empty for two decades is set to be transformed into an apartment complex.

Each Halloween, the Indian Hills neighborhood in Rantoul becomes a magnet for hundreds of visitors. Having lived in the area for 12 years, Good notes that this festive influx is a relatively new phenomenon.

“There wasn’t any particular promotion or announcement about it,” Good explained. “People just started coming, and it kept getting bigger.”

Today, it stands as one of the most enjoyable days of the year for the community.

A few of the favorites were the Ghostbusters, a Ninja Turtle and a little ghost who’s more smiley than scary. And of course, they all got what they came for.

“Fun dip, and then we have a couple different toys,” Good said. “There’s a little squishy eyeball and, fangs that you can put in your mouth.”

But that’s not the only draw. This Glow on Grove light display is synched up to music playing for all to get in the spooky and family spirit.

“Everyone’s pretty wowed if they’ve never seen something like this,” said Glow on Grove organizer Brendan Olauson. “My favorite reactions are usually when I see parents with small kids, and the kids are just in awe.”

But whether its treats or tunes, everyone loves to see their community come out and have fun.

“It’s definitely cool to be a part of something like that,” Olauson said.
