The Hillsboro Fire and Rescue department would like to thank everyone who attended and donated prizes for their annual fundraiser.

Trick-or-Treat night for Hillsboro residents and children will be Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 5-7 p.m. Any residents interested in handing out candy or treats are asked to please leave a porch light on so the ghosts and goblins know where to stop for a treat. Please drive slow and watch for the children crossing the streets. They may be having too much fun to look both ways.
