Trunk or Treat marks ten years of family fun

Posted

The 10th annual Trunk or Treat brought family fun and costumes on Oct. 27th at St. Christopher’s Church in Baldwin.

Originating as a community-oriented alternative to traditional trick-or-treating, particularly in areas where safety concerns about children wandering alone at night were growing, the event typically involves families decorating the trunks of their cars and parking them in a designated area.

Participants then walk from car to car, collecting candy in a controlled, festive environment. The concept began gaining popularity in the 1990s and has since spread across the United States, with many variations including themed decorations and activities.
