Some ideas are pencils, erasers, stickers, tattoos, small toys, and glow sticks. Be prepared to see at least 100 kids. Can we decorate our trunks? Yes! Decorated trunks make everything more fun! There will also be prizes for the best decorations! However, it is not mandatory. What if we can not participate in handing out treats from our car? No problem! Your child may still participate in trick or treating. However, we do ask that everyone who attends bring something to share. If you are not planning on handing out a “treat”, please donate a bag or two to share with those handing out “treats”! We encourage you to bring an alternative to candy and food treats. Some ideas are pencils, erasers, stickers, tattoos, small toys, and glow sticks. We will collect this upon check in to Trunk or Treat. How can I volunteer to help at Trunk or Treat?
