Police, fire report successful Pumpkin Festival; 'minor incidents' and near-full use of meridian barriers
Summary
Village public safety leaders reported the annual Pumpkin Festival saw high turnout, mostly uneventful activity, and used nearly all meridian barriers; county sheriff presence and children's activities were noted.
Chief Brock, the village chief of police, told the Village Board that the annual Pumpkin Festival was successful overall and produced only a few minor incidents.
“Overall, it was a success,” Chief Brock said, and he added the community delivered “a lot of positive comments on the meridian barriers.” Chief Brock told trustees that the barriers were available from prior years and the department deployed them to cover the spots needed for the event.
The chief said officers used about 99% of the meridian barriers available for the festival. The director of fire and emergencies (name not specified) said the department also had a strong turnout, that children enjoyed visiting fire trucks, and that the event was “uneventful otherwise.” A trustee noted the presence of county sheriff personnel and a large volunteer turnout.
No major incidents, injuries, or arrests were reported in the discussion recorded in the meeting transcript. Board members did not ask for additional staffing or post-event reports in the recorded discussion, and no formal actions were taken related to the festival during the meeting.
