As children across Central Illinois get ready for Halloween festivities tonight and tomorrow, safety officials are reminding families and drivers to take a few extra precautions.

With trick-or-treating taking place Friday and Saturday in several area communities, motorists are being urged to slow down and watch carefully for children walking through neighborhoods.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says drivers should be especially alert around intersections, driveways and parked vehicles, where children may unexpectedly enter the roadway.

Parents are encouraged to make sure children are visible after dark by using flashlights, glow sticks or reflective tape on costumes and treat bags.

A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE 2019...

The last time MacArthur and Mt. Zion met on the football field:

🎵 "Someone You Loved" was the #1 song in America.

🎬 "Terminator: Dark Fate" was #1 at the box office.

📱 The iPhone 11 had just come out.

🏈 Mitchell Trubisky was the Bears' starting quarterback.

📺 Disney+ hadn't even launched yet.

On November 2, 2019, Mt. Zion pulled out a 31-30 overtime win over MacArthur.

Seven years later, the two teams are getting ready to meet again, this time in the second round of the IHSA playoffs.

One thing that hasn't changed? You heard the game on 106.3 The Game back in 2019, and you'll hear the rematch right here again Friday night!

Pregame starts at 6:45 with kickoff at 7 on 106.3 The Game and DecaturRadio.com.

Decatur Public Schools is reviewing three possible plans to reorganize district facilities amid declining enrollment and budget challenges. Superintendent Dr. Nicole Moody says the process is still ongoing, and no final decisions have been made.

Community members will have opportunities to learn more and share their input during public forums December 7 and January 25. Both meetings will offer morning and evening sessions, along with livestream options.
