We are aware of a disturbing AI-generated “Cat in the Hat” trend circulating on social media. Some posts have gone beyond the typical online trend and have included references to schools, communities, and individuals. Please take a moment to talk with your children about making safe choices online and the real-life consequences of what they post or participate in.

👻 We want YOU to be part of the Trail of Terror! 🎃

The Trail of Terror is a community event, and we’re looking for people who want to help make it bigger, better, and scarier this year!

Whether you’re an individual looking for a fun way to volunteer, a high school student needing service hours, a business wanting to get involved, or part of a club, organization, or community group — there’s a place for you!

Want to create a scene? Decorate? Act? Help behind the scenes? Have a completely crazy idea you think would be perfect for the trail? We want to hear it!

The Liberal Police Department will work with participants and help with the cost of supplies needed for their area. (Some limits will apply)

If you’re interested in being part of the Trail of Terror, send us a message! Let’s make this year’s trail one our community won’t forget!
