💥MISSION REPORT💥

We wrapped up October with a trio of events on Friday and Saturday!

First, on Friday, we visited Harper College for their Trunk or Treat event.

Then on Saturday, we had the chance to visit some patients at Stroger Hospital to spread some Halloween spirit and bring some smiles too!
We also returned to Chicago's annual Upside Down Parade in Washington Park!

Finally, our very own 332nd Blurrg Squad were in Champaign, IL to have fun visiting the CU Community Sponsors Trunk & Treat event
