“We have kids having fun. We have parents enjoying themselves with hot cocoa. We have people running around. Kids look amazing with all their different outfits, and they run up to us as a police department, and they run into every other community organization out here, and I think that’s what we need,” said Kenneth Sprague, a detective with the Urbana Police Department. “We need to get back to the foundation of family within the community because we’re all a piece of this family in this community.”

The Halloween party also had free food, face painting, hot cocoa and games.
