Please arrive with your “decked-out-trunk” between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm on October 18th to find your assigned parking space and prepare for the arrival of Trick-or-Treaters at 5:30 pm. We ask that you are fully set up by 5:15.
Your “trunk” can be simple or elaborate…it’s up to you. As you’re dreaming up ideas, consider your trunk as the stage on which you will perform in your coordinating costume with fun scene settings and props. Need some inspiration? A quick search of “Trunk or Treat” on the Internet and you’ll find dozens of photos that others have posted of their own annual event. The possibilities are endless.
We are asking all trunks to arrive with an initial amount of candy to hand out. The PTO will be providing additional candy throughout the evening. If you decide to select treats for “Trick-or-Treaters”, candy (pre-wrapped & sealed) is certainly an obvious choice, but other favorite treats include pencils, pens, erasers, glow sticks, bracelets, bookmarks, stickers, notepads, bouncy balls, and fake tattoos. We expect approximately 500 children.
