During a recent city council meeting, members discussed a public event license for the upcoming \"Truck or Treat\" event, scheduled for October 24th from 4 PM to 8 PM. The event, organized by the mayor's office, aims to provide a festive atmosphere for families in the community.

The meeting featured a whimsical presentation from the director of the Department of Paranormal Whimsy, who shared details about various Halloween-themed activities. Among these were the Arts Council's \"Monster Mash\" event on October 20th, which will include pumpkin carving, parkour, and dancing. The director, humorously signing off as \"Boolie, the ghost of city hall,\" encouraged residents to participate in the spooky festivities.

Additionally, Councillor Wilson highlighted the importance of blue pumpkins, a growing trend aimed at helping children with allergies enjoy Halloween safely. These blue pumpkins signify that treats offered are allergy-friendly, ensuring inclusivity during the holiday.

The council unanimously approved the public event license, allowing the \"Truck or Treat\" to proceed as planned. Following this, the meeting transitioned to other business, including a proposal for safety measures at a local intersection.
