The Annual Pumpkin Smash is this Saturday! Gather up your pumpkins, gourds, and jack-o'-lanterns and head to the north end of Harrer Park (see map) for some family fun and a whole lot of pumpkin smashing!
Stick around in the viewing area to enjoy refreshments, catch up with neighbors and friends, and watch your pumpkins take their final plunge into the compost heap.
Last year, we diverted an estimated 6,680 pounds of CO₂ emissions and nearly 1,000 gallons of water through pumpkin composting. Let's keep up the great work and see if we can beat those numbers this year!
This is an outdoor event, so be sure to dress for the weather. We hope to see you there!
The Morton Grove Police Department is holding a Toys for Tots drive from November 9th through December 9th. Help them bring joy to local children this holiday season by dropping off new and unwrapped toys at any of the five locations listed below. Thank you for your generosity and support!
If you missed this year’s Morton Grove Fire Department Open House, you’ll definitely want to put it on your calendar for next year! Check out this video for a look at all the fun, activities, and demonstrations.
A big thank-you to the MGFD for all your hard work and for taking the time to show our community everything you do to keep Morton Grove safe. We appreciate you!
🦌 Watch for Deer! 🦌
As we head deeper into the fall season, deer activity increases throughout Morton Grove, particularly near local forest preserves and the North Branch of the Chicago River.
Areas near Linne Woods and Miami Woods are common deer crossing locations. Drivers should be especially alert during dawn and dusk, when deer are most active.
Let's all do our part to keep our roads safe for both motorists and wildlife! 🚗🦌A little extra caution can help prevent a crash. 🦌⚠️
Deer are on the move this time of year and can enter the road unexpectedly. Whether you're driving through wooded areas or suburban neighborhoods, stay focused and be prepared for sudden crossings.

💙 Building Safer Connections Through Understanding! 💙
In addition to the Blue Envelope Program, the Morton Grove Police Department partnered with the The Autism Hero Project to purchase 12 Autism Sensory Kits for our officers squad cars.
These kits include communication tools, noise-canceling headphones, fidget items, and other sensory resources designed to help reduce anxiety, improve communication, and provide comfort during interactions with individuals with autism and other sensory sensitivities.
Combined with autism-informed training, these resources will help our officers build trust, better understand individual needs, and promote safer, more positive interactions.
We’re excited to add another valuable resource to our department and continue our commitment to serving ALL members of our community! 💙

➤ In Illinois, it's Scott's Law. Click below to learn more.
isp.illinois.gov/Patrol/PatrolMoveOverLawThis Crash Responder Safety Week, remember: when you see flashing lights on the side of the road, state laws require you to Slow Down, Move Over.
Giving responders a safe buffer takes just a few seconds, but it gives crews the space they need to return home SAFELY after every shift. 🚨🚘
*Move Over laws vary by state
