If you don’t get any trick or treaters at your home, this is the event for you.

Those who wish to provide candy should arrive between 2-2:30 p.m. and park in the Karate Studio parking lot near Ted William’s Camp.

There is no cost to participate. “Trunkers” are encouraged to provide their own candy and to decorate the trunks of their vehicles, although assistance is available for those who need help purchasing candy (please contact mmmsturco1@gmail.com). Other attendees should park in the main parking lot by the playground and should bring a bag to collect candy in.
